You're standing outside Guitars – the Museum, right in the middle of Umeå. Take a look at the brick building. It doesn't exactly scream rock and roll, and there's a reason for that. This used to be a school, the Vasaskolan, and the building dates from 1904. These days the sounds coming out of it are a lot louder than a school bell. Under the same roof you'll find a rock club, a restaurant, a music store and a record shop.
