Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

About Warhol 1968
Exercisplan 4, 111 49 Stockholm, SwedenDid you know that Andy Warhol’s first own museum exhibition took place in 1968 at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm? It was expected to be cut off as American propaganda – but the reactions went apart. “Warhol 1968” is an exhibition about the earlier exhibition and an exhibition explaining the complexity of Warhol’s artistry from the breakpoint in 1968.
The time before 1968, Andy Warhol was characterized by both fascination and disgust for the mass media and commodity community. 1968 was also a dramatic year for Warhol and just a few months after his exhibition in Stockholm, he was subjected to a murder attempt. Afterwards he would have to move in partly new courses.
Follow an introduction to the Warhol 1968 exhibition with Ylva Hillström, Intendent Formedling.
In Swedish.
Download ticket to the display in the information desk the same day. Limited number of seats.
Included in the entrance fee (100/70 SEK)More about the exhibition: https://www.modernamuseet.se/stockholm/sv/utstallningar/warhol-1968/
