We take the train to Helsingborg, ferry across the strait and train to Nivå. Walk in good weather to Nivaagaard's painting collection, there is the exhibition: "Kunstnerkolonierne Hornbæk & Arild." Danish and Swedish artists who met on both sides of the strait around 1900. It is lunchtime. You order the food inside, we find a free table in the shade outside. It is a pleasantly warm day. It is a nice and interesting exhibition. Many motifs from the local nature. Many artists unknown to us but also famous artists. Taking a walk in the park dominated by rhododendrons, this time there is a lot of bloom. Some about to be overbloomed.

Take the train to Helsingborg, ferry and then train to Nivå. Then walk for ten minutes to Nivågård's collection of paintings. There are signs showing the way. In addition to their own collection, which is shown in three rooms, is a temporary exhibition. "All the power to the beauty!", with nineteen century designer William Morris (1834-1896). The exhibition shows wallpapers, furniture fabrics, textiles, glass and books. Also works by artists in the circle around Morris and his wife Jane who took an active part. A lot about his life and thoughts. He eventually became a socialist.
