Bror Hjorths Hus

About

Bror Hjorths Hus is an intimate museum dedicated to the life and work of Bror Hjorth, one of Sweden’s most distinctive modern artists. Located in the artist’s former home and studio in Uppsala, the museum preserves the vibrant, personal atmosphere in which he created his expressive sculptures, paintings, and reliefs. The rooms are filled with bold colours, carved figures, and folkloric motifs that reflect Hjorth’s fascination with Swedish traditions, music, and everyday life. Walking through the house offers a close encounter with his creative world, from the studio where he worked for decades to the living spaces that reveal his personality and artistic process. Temporary exhibitions and cultural events complement the permanent collection, keeping the museum lively and connected to contemporary art. Bror Hjorths Hus stands as a warm and inspiring tribute to an artist whose playful, emotional style continues to resonate.
