Good things in The Small Town

All of a sudden I felt bad! And felt sorry for all the negative things I write about the Small Town. Actually I don't mean to be negative, I am just fascinated and write about the things I don't understand, but I can understand that this might look negative, so therefore I will try to write about some good things about The Small Town too(especially as I want people to come and visit me here!)
I will start by writing that The Small Town has a very nice art museum (for being a small town). It is very nicely situated by the water, has a nice café/restaurant and good muesums shop and seem to have ambitious exhibitions. This far I have only seen one, but it is very good, about Swedish and Norwegian pupils of Matisse, very interesting!

Shadow Sculptures

When I was in Malmö recently, I visited a gallery in the very fancy building Turning Torso. http://www.gallerimiva.com There I found some very nice sculptures (and very appropriate for the building!). They are made by the artist Randy Cooper and are bodies/torsos made of metallic cloth. http://www.randycooperart.com/galleries.asp?id=187
The very fascinating thing about them are the shadows the cast, therefore they are called Shadow Sculptures.
So if anyone would like to give me some nice present any time, this is a good tip! :-)
