About this audio guide
This guide to the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg is about the building before the collection: the red brick walls on Vasagatan and the two men who raised them in the nineteen tens. You'll meet Axel Nilsson, the museum's first director, and the unlikely household object he used to explain who a design museum was for. Best heard standing close to the facade, where you can study the bricks one by one.
