KARLSKRONA

Karlskrona is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that blends history and modernity. Founded in 1680, the city’s naval heritage is visible throughout, with impressive shipyards and naval facilities still in operation. Beyond the city’s historic core, Karlskrona offers a unique opportunity to explore the stunning Blekinge archipelago. Hop on a boat tour and sail through a myriad of islands with rocky shores, sandy beaches, and dense forests. This pristine natural paradise is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers alike.

Galleri Chapman is a contemporary art gallery situated on Drottninggatan, the central street of Karlskrona, Sweden. The gallery features a diverse range of art exhibitions that showcase artists working with various artistic media. The gallery is housed in a historic stone cellar that dates back to the 1700s, which adds a unique atmosphere to the art displays.

Karlskrona Blue Port Studios is an innovative facility specifically designed for virtual production, simulation, and visualisation. This state-of-the-art studio features a large LED wall measuring 25 meters by 6 meters, marking it as the first of its kind in Sweden. It is equipped with advanced computing systems that facilitate real-time rendering and the creation of immersive environments.

The studio serves a variety of functions, including Education & Research, Film & TV Production, Training Simulations, and Live Events & Concerts. The studio enhances performances with stunning visual effects, elevating the overall experience. 

Karlskrona Blue Port Studios was officially inaugurated in 2024 and is the result of a collaborative effort between Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), Karlskrona Municipality, and various industry partners. The studio aims to connect academic research with commercial applications, positioning itself as a key hub for engineering, gaming, and creative industries.

Stumholmen is a small island east of Trossö in Karlskrona, Sweden, connected to the centre of Karlskrona by the Bastionsgatan bridge. Stumholmen has several attractions, especially the Naval Museum, with collections and exhibitions related to the Navy and the shipyard, the Hyper Island educational complex, and several other historic buildings (Wikipedia).
