Built in the Moorish style in 1898, the building houses a collection of fine art. Carl Larsson (1853–1919) was the first chairman of the Artists Association which owns the building.

Designed by Ludvig Peterson, the building was completed in 1898. The facade overlooking the street is finished in Portland limestone with intricate details, including wall openings, a crowning balustrade, clover-leafed windows and mosaics. The architecture is inspired by Italian and Spanish trends from the 16th century. The interior includes the entrance hall, a staircase and the richly stuccoed exhibition hall. The restaurant area consists of a dining room, a bar, and a banqueting hall decorated with wall paintings from a renovation in 1931. The entire building is decorated by the works of celebrated artists and craftsmen.
