An art and history exhibition on the theme of washing and washing is taking place in Köpmanholmen this summer.

In premises that until the 1960s belonged to a laundry, there are now again tubs and textiles.

- We throw the laundry in the washing machine and stand in the shower in the morning and change clothes.

One hundred years ago, it was not that simple, says Eva Skåreus, artist.

The old laundry facilities will continue to be used for cultural events.

Watch artist Bill Olson talk about his childhood memories of the laundry and its sauna, in the player above.
