Though the Middle Ages in Sweden marked a major shift in attitude towards the sick, major support of artistic decoration of hospitals arose only during the 1930s. This book discusses the history of Swedish hospitals and their aesthetic environments from the Middle Ages until present. Today, as never before, artistic decoration and embellishment have come to play a significant role in Swedish medical care.

The board has long been one of it’s kind in Denmark, and this book fully describes the story and evolution of the board and the collecting of the art at the hospital. From its meager start in 1985 to its current role in the new mergers of hospitals in the greater Århus area. It is richly illustrated with examples of the art from Århus hospital along with anecdotes of the raison d’etre for the artworks and their locations in the hospital.
