Let the Hand be Seen

From Carl Larsson-gården

Join us for the opening of this much-anticipated exhibit in the Main Gallery. Free admission.

Immersed in the world of the Swedish countryside, Karin Larsson’s work in the textile arts, furniture construction, and interior design reflect her artistic training, curiosity, innovation, and openness to the emerging trends facing life in the late 1800s. This exhibit showcases Karin’s work through her experience as an artist, wife, and mother. The exhibition will feature reproductions of Karin’s most significant pieces including furniture, dresses, curtains, pillows, and other hand-made designs that accented the Larsson family home. Though Karin’s body of work was known only to her family and a few friends during her lifetime, today her impact on the fiber arts and interior design remains an important part of Sweden’s contributions to women’s history and the wider world of art.
