You're standing at Bildmuseet in Umeå, a museum of contemporary art in the north of Sweden. The name means Museum of Visual Arts. Start with the façade. The building is clad in larch, with windows set into it at what look like random spots. That wood won't stay this colour: over time it will fade to grey. So the building slowly changes with the years.
