Open House: Thielska Galleriet 100 Years

We conclude our centennial year – Thielska Galleriet 100 years ✨ – with an open house and free admission.

A warm welcome!

15-minute guided tours of the most beloved works in the collection
Live music at Ernest Thiel’s grand piano with Anna Strååt and Jonas Lundahl.

Throughout the day, short guided tours alternate with musical performances. Museum Director Åsa Cavalli-Björkman and curators Sophie Allgårdh and Adam Korpskog will speak about iconic works and artists such as Edvard Munch, Gustaf Fjæstad, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Anders Zorn, Carl Larsson and Carl Wilhelmson.

Behind the scenes, Thielska Galleriet’s paintings conservator Susanne Klemeyer-Garcia offers insights into the work of caring for and preserving this world-famous collection.

Wander through the galleries at your own pace as music fills the rooms. Discover our collection of Nordic art from the turn of the 20th century and enjoy the acclaimed anniversary exhibition The Sweet Life. The exhibition revolves around café and nightlife culture, variety shows, masquerades and celebration – the exuberant joy of the party, but also its darker side, when the sound of music fades and everyday life makes itself felt once more.

A more detailed programme will be published in mid-January.

Take the opportunity to browse the museum shop, featuring beautiful art books, fridge magnets, special offers and a sale on remaining anniversary products.

🍽️ ☕️ FOOD AND DRINK
Café Monika Ahlberg joins the celebration with homemade delicacies and special centennial  offers on cookbooks, ceramics and much more. Pre-orders are also welcome: cafemonikaahlberg@gmail.com
