Jan Jörnmark is a shooter who specializes in photographing abandoned industrial sites and other deserted places in Sweden. One of our sharp-eyed readers noticed this particularly poignant building on Jan's site.
It's the one-time world headquarters of Hasselblad. Former medium-format giant Hasselblad optimistically moved into its brand new, ultra-modern, custom-designed building in the fall of 2003. A mere two years later, following Hassie's absorption by Imacon, the facility sat empty and abandoned.
Hasselblad history display, stripped of camerasI wonder if any of our Swedish readers know what the building is used for today?

Featured comment by Björn Ylinenpää: Hasselblad has moved to smaller facilities in the same industrial park. Today the Hasselblad building is used by SVT and SR, the government-owned public-service TV and radio companies, Sweden's largest broadcasters.
