Arching over Strandgatan in the centre of Umeå by the Ume River is the city’s new, labyrinthine cultural centre.
The centre is in essence two buildings that fuse together over the street, and is a surprising muddle of amenities, visitor attractions and performance venues.
The city’s library, theatre, art house cinema and market are all here, as well as a cafe on the waterfront and a gallery for art exhibitions.
