Anonymouse (collective)

The mouse restaurant Il Topolino, December 2016 Amusement park in Malmö, April 2017

Anonymouse is an anonymous Swedish artists collective, notable for street installations in Sweden. They build mouse-themed miniatures and display them in public. The first work was the restaurant Il Topolino that appeared on Bergsgatan in Malmö.[1][2][3][4][5] It was vandalized a few weeks later.[6] In April 2017 they created an amusement park at Södra Förstadsgatan.[7] In September 2017 two shops and a gas station opened in Borås.[8][9]

The group also built exhibits in Bayonne[10] and on Isle of Man in 2018[11] and later the same year a miniature barber shop and a shelter for mice in Malmö.[12] In May 2019 a detective agency in Malmö and a website opened, where the public was invited to solve a fictitious case.[13]

Inspired by Anonymouse, Gothenburg artist Staffan Lindholm built and displayed on the streets of Haga, Gothenburg a mouse-themed cheese shop, a shoe shop, a motorcycle shop and a gym.[14]
