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.
