  • Nordiska Museet and Skansen: Displays of Floating Nationalities Magdalena Hillström
    Great Narratives of the Past. Traditions and Revisions in National Museums Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Paris 29 June – 1 July & 25-26 November 2011. Dominique Poulot, Felicity Bodenstein & José María Lanzarote Guiral (eds) EuNaMus Report No 4. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=078 © The Author. Nordiska museet and Skansen: Displays of Floating Nationalities Magdalena Hillström Department of Culture Studies, Linköping University Abstract This article explores how national narratives were performed and displayed at Nordiska museet and Skansen from late 19th century until the end of the 20th century. It shows how the museum’s national narratives were negotiated and transformed in the wake of new political orientations, from the utopia of “folkhemmet” to contemporary visions of the multi-cultural society. Nordiska museet and Skansen have strongly been associated with successful nation- making. This notion however tends to suppress a prevailing tension between the museum’s Nordicness and its Swedishness. From very early on Artur Hazelius collected objects from an indecisive Nordic area, including Russia and Germany. After his death in 1901 efforts were made to nationalize Nordiska museet and Skansen. From time to time the museum’s Nordic identity has been mobilized, a story that run parallel with tendencies to reject the museum’s Scandinavianist legacy, a legacy dating back to a period when the contemporary Nordic nation- states were yet not politically or culturally defined. 33 Sweden in Miniature In 1890 Artur Hazelius, the founder of Nordiska museet in Stockholm, received as a gift some houses and a garden named Framnäs at Djurgården, close to the building site of the present Nordiska museet.

  • Skansen Djurgårdsslätten 49–51
    44 Skansen Djurgårdsslätten 49–51 Djurgården Tram 7 44 www.skansen.se Founded in 1891, Skansen is the oldest open-air museum in the world with approximately 150 buildings brought from all over Sweden, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Most of the buildings are open and there are guides dressed in traditional costumes doing old-fashioned crafts such as weaving, butter-making, spinning, etc. There are open-air concerts regularly on summer evenings and fabulous views of the city. There is also a zoo and lots of ABBA- related things to see. Towards the rear of Skansen you can find Kronbergs ateljé (Kronberg’s studio) featuring the artwork of painter Julius Kronberg (1850–1921.) He was a professor at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. His works feature at Kungliga Slottet (see p. 52), the Hallwyl Palace and Dramaten. After his death, his studio was donated to Nordiska Museet but later moved to Skansen. Kronberg’s painting of Eros is on the cover of ABBA’s album The Visitors. Everything is still almost as it was in 1981 in the studio. Look out for the book that Agnetha is flicking through and the wooden bench that Benny sits on. Unfortunately you won’t be allowed to sit on it as it has been roped off for some time. The red armchair that Frida sits on can be found in the room away from the painting. Keep looking and you’ll find it. You’ll notice that there is a large water stain on it that Frida obscures by sitting in front of it for the album cover! The chair that Björn is leaning against is also in the room.
