Nationalmuseum’s exhibitions 2014

During 2014 Nationalmuseum will have three exhibitions on show in the temporary venue at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. Except for Hans Gedda & Masters of Darkness there will be an exhibition with masterpieces from the collections on show and one with Russian paintings co-produced with the Russian Museum. Exhibitions in partnership with Swedavia and Kulturhuset Stadsteatern will also be carried out and the collaboration with museums and art galleries across Sweden continues.

Nationalmuseum at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts
Hans Gedda & Masters of Darkness
5 December 2013 – 30 March 2014
A retrospective exhibition of works by Hans Gedda, one of Sweden’s most notable photographers. Portraits of Swedish and international celebrities appear alongside still lifes and semi-documentary images dating from the 1950s to the present day. As a historical counterpoint to Gedda’s imagery, Nationalmuseum’s collection of early 17th-century Caravaggisti is also on display.

Masterpieces
15 May – 31 August 2014
Over the summer, a selection of works representing the best of Nationalmuseum will be on show. Among them will be famous works by artists such as Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn, as well as less celebrated gems from the museum’s collection. The exhibition will also include a section dedicated to historical and contemporary self-portraits.

From Tsars to Commissars: Russian and Soviet Painting
2 October 2014 – 11 January 2015
This exhibition, co-produced with the Russian Museum in St Petersburg, will feature a number of prominent works from the museum’s collection. It will offer a rich, multifaceted survey of Russian art history, ranging from early 19th-century classicism via early 20th-century avant-garde to Stalinist-era realism. Many of the featured artists will be on show to Swedish audiences for the first time.
