This Year’s Exhibitions - Masterful Meetings
Norrviken carries the marks of a master’s vision, and the nature around us is a living masterpiece. In 2025, we will let these worlds interact in a series of exhibitions where tradition meets innovation.
In the Weave of Creation
Four of Sweden’s most innovative designers – Bea Szenfeld, Frida Jonsvens, Martin Bergström, and Linnéa Samia Khalil – now present their work in the exhibition In the Weave of Creation at Norrviken.
In the historic Villa Abelin, a unique artistic composition has taken shape, where fashion, art and nature meet in sculptural expressions. The four works have been created exclusively for the exhibition, each carrying its own distinct language and narrative. What connects them is a shared attentiveness to the inherent power of materials – and an inspiration drawn from the forms, rhythms, and constant movement of nature.
There is a strong sense of process here – from the first sketch to the final silhouette. Reuse plays a central role for several of the designers, who breathe new life into existing textiles through experimental techniques, bold shapes and a deeply artistic drive.
The exhibition is on view in Villa Abelin until 2 November.
Wedding in bloom
April 17 – September 28
An exhibition filled with inspiration, craftsmanship, and love. Experience the magic of the Wedding Pavilions, where floral beauty and shimmering details create a dreamlike atmosphere. At the heart of the exhibition is Norrviken’s own wedding dress, created by Frida Jonsvens from upcycled materials, symbolizing timeless beauty and sustainability. The experience is enhanced by creator Anna Starrén, who brings the exhibition to life with an imaginative world of handmade paper flowers.
The Garderner's World
20 mar - 2 nov
Welcome to a world of garden art, history, and passion in Halmhuset. Here, the story of Rudolf Abelin and the unique period gardens is told, along with the cycles of cultivation and nature throughout the year. Get to know plant hunter Tor Nitzelius, uncover hidden treasures, and be inspired by the work of the gardeners – a journey through the soul of Norrviken begins here.
Photosynthesis
03 jun - 02 nov
In Photosynthesis, Hannah Lemholt’s dreamy photography merges with Sara N Bergman’s intricate illustrations. Through light, shadows, and forms, a new visual world is created where image and line blend seamlessly. The exhibition invites a meeting between the captured moment and the interpretive hand—a creative symbiosis in constant motion.
Norrviken in music
Mar 20 – Nov 2
Four unique musical installations, created by composer duo Hanna and Carl-Johan Dahlberg Fogelklou, allow the gardens of Norrviken to resonate with specially composed tones. Inspired by the four elements, selected garden rooms each have their own soundscape—a harmonious fusion of music, nature, and history.
How They Loved Their Garden
In the exhibition How They Loved Their Garden, four iconic women – Frida Kahlo, Karin Larsson, May Morris and Karen Blixen – are brought together in a tribute to the creative power of nature.
Their lives and art were deeply influenced by gardens, where colours, shapes and plant life became sources of inspiration for their distinctive expressions.
Through installations and storytelling, the exhibition explores how their love of nature shaped both their artistic work and the paths their lives took.
The exhibition is on view in Erik’s House until 28 September.
