Sweden's cultural heritage can be described as largely based on a skillful reshaping of impulses borrowed from other, larger cultures. But deep down there is a uniquely Swedish poetic tone, characterized by simplicity, but also wit and sensitivity to new impressions, as well as an ever-present love - and respect - for our Nordic natural scenery, which is evident in great Swedish artists like August Strindberg, Ingmar Bergman and Astrid Lindgren.

International observers are often amazed at the richness and diversity of the Swedish cultural heritage. Many foreign visitors can hardly believe that Swedish culture is too young to have experienced such epochs as classical antiquity and the Renaissance. Swedish culture is characterized by a constant longing for greatness and a refusal to be content with the role of a small backwater far from the main highway. This applies to literature, art, opera and theater, cinema, classic and modern music, dance, architecture, art handicrafts, design and many other cultural expressions.

Anyone with an intrest in Sweden, Swedish culture, Scandinavia, etc. I want this to be a forum where Swedes and Scandinavians around the world can connect with one another and stay in touch.
