Time is relentless, and the art treasures that the houses in Malmö conceal are slowly disappearing through wear and tear, negligent renovations or vandalism. By producing this book, we want to increase pride in staircase art among residents and property owners and highlight a forgotten category of skilled craftsmen. We also want to make the artworks accessible to an audience that does not have access to the houses and show the uniqueness of this part of Malmö’s art and architectural history.
