In between

From the museums collection

Darkness, cold, everyday routines and a slow advance towards brighter times – this is what many associate with the months from November to February. The period between the autumn and vernal solstices has inspired us to select the works of 15 artists in the museum’s collection, all of whom express intensity with economical means, a restrained colour range and reflections on everyday life.

Topography – from the Museum Collection

On display in Thordénrummet

Through art, we track a terrain where emotions and impressions have been visualised and structured onto the receptive watercolour paper, as if it were a topographical map. The external and internal unite.

Colourful Stories – from the Museum Collection

Ever since the first picture books began to be produced in the 19th century, watercolour techniques have played a major part in the creation of illustrations for this kind of literature. This is reflected in the museum's art collection, where original works by several of our most important picture book artists are represented.
