Rian designmuseum

The RIAN design museum is overlooks the Ätran river in Halland. About 150 years ago, the building was a popular granary and mill. At Rian, you encounter design in exhibitions, lectures, and workshops. The museum functions as a hub for design in Halland and collaborates with associations, colleges, and sister institutions at local, regional, national, and international levels. Rian works with a broad and inclusive concept of design that includes industrial design, fashion, arts and crafts, handicrafts, and architecture. In many of the exhibitions, design is also integrated with art and cultural history. The contents of the exhibitions range from historical retrospectives to the current issues of the design world. In the associated design shop, books, gifts, posters, and postcards are sold. Adjacent to the museum is Baraye Coffee, which serves quality coffee in various forms as well as sandwiches and delicious pastries.
