Visit to Nationalmuseum

On Thursday let's visit Nationalmuseum. And let's focus on the exhibition Portraits! (last day March 15th).

"Queen Christina, Greta Garbo, Max Martin. What about you? Who gets a place in the National Portrait Gallery — and who decides? This winter’s exhibition explores questions about what portraits are and what they have meant, both then and now. See over 100 portraits of sports stars, artists, royals, and other Swedish personalities.

What is a national portrait collection – and what could it be? That question forms the starting point for Nationalmuseum’s winter exhibition. The National Portrait Gallery was founded in 1822 as a collection of portraits of prominent Swedes. Considered the world’s oldest national portrait gallery, the collection has long been part of Nationalmuseum and is on display at Gripsholm Castle in Mariefred."

Another temporary exhibition is "Fantasy and Reality - The Art of Johan Tobias Sergel".

"Meet Johan Tobias Sergel – the sculptor and draughtsman who gave his name to one of Stockholm’s most iconic places, Sergels torg. A contemporary of King Gustav III and a close friend of the troubadour Bellman. A social genius and brooding melancholic. A celebrated artist and a satirical provocateur..."
