The Rackstad museum shows works from some of the painters in the Rackstad colony (Rackstad is a small village located some 7 km north east of Arvika, near the lake Racken).
The painters represents the Swedish National Romance period, around 1900. A speciality was the nordic light (which you also will find in the Skagen museum in Denmark).
On this premises where the museum is, in the manor 'Haget', the sculptor Christian Eriksson was born 1858. He made some monumental work that is famous, one example is Sankt Göran och draken (St George and the dragon), now placed in the City Hall in Stockholm.
On the place has been a furniture work shop, which has been important for the handicraft that still exists in Arvika.

This disputed but in my opinion very good staty is called The Bird Man.
The artist is Liss Eriksson, the youngest son of Christian Eriksson.
The sculpture is often used as a symbol of Arvika and is a personification of the forces of nature.

The church is situated "uphill" and can be seen from great distance.
