consigned to eternal decay

Bröderna Ivansson's scrapyard has gone from being a destruction site for cars to a cultural meeting place.

 

A different attraction

Båstnäs is truly a different attraction, northern Europe's only car scrapyard of its kind. If you travel from Töcksfors via Västra Fågelvik for approximately 25 kilometers on winding dirt roads, you will come to a signpost where it says Här lüttar allmn väg, then you will find yourself in Båstnäs and the car cemetery, and immediately existence feels a little surreal.

 

Cultural meeting place

The car cemetery is a monument to a time that has moved. Now the cars in Båstnäs can be seen as an installation where nature is the most important actor. Over the years, Båstnäs has become a cultural meeting place for artists and especially photographers from all over the world.
