100 Great Paintings
The 100 Great Paintings exhibition features some of Nationalmuseum’s best-known and most popular works. For a limited time this summer, visitors have the opportunity to once again see some much loved favourites from the collections while the museum building is closed for renovation.
Bruno Liljefors’ hunting cat, Rembrandt’s kitchen maid and Hanna Pauli’s summer breakfast are just some of the images that many visitors relate to and remember with affection. As well as an occasion for fond reunions, the exhibition is a chance for new visitors to discover such works for the first time.
All 100 works are drawn from Nationalmuseum’s own collection of paintings. The exhibition includes portraits, landscapes, still lifes and history paintings spanning a period of more than 500 years, but with the emphasis on the late 19th century.
The featured paintings are pieces of history created in a bygone age that continue to speak to us today. Discussions of artworks are always fascinating, and for the duration of this exhibition Nationalmuseum will be exploring ways to extend the reach of the paintings by writing and talking about them in social media and other venues. What happens when present-day audiences are faced with images from the past?
