Today, Liv visited a public dig being done by the university of Gothenburg!
In a collaboration with the Fine Arts department, they are excavating the old location of the art school Valand, a pillar within Gothenburg art circles.
Construction details from the old (today demolished) building and even some old color tubes have been found during this 2 day dig!
Lots of thanks to dr Anita Synnestvedt for allowing us to visit and talking to us!
