Sweden’s national museum, in Stockholm, closed in mid March due to Covid. Earlier, they had closed certain installations and certain events, but remained open for individual visitors for as long as they could. Then it all came to an end.
But now there’s an end to the end. Although some rooms will be closed, and there will be a slew of signs saying what you can do, can’t do, or can do under certain conditions (if you absolutely must sneeze, for example, for heaven’s sake pull a Dracula and go nose to elbow!), you will be free to wander around and take your mind off things with the help of art.
Art – or Nobel festivity dresses. The regularly scheduled installation of Sara Danius’ Nobel dresses (and they were really fabulous creations) as well as an installation on Gustavsberg porcelain will also be open.
Sadly, the “Zorn – a Swedish superstar” exhibit won’t open but has been put off until February of next year.
