Since the late eighteenth century, science, architecture, and art have interacted with nature in the area that is now Campus Frescati. Parts of this earlier history are still visible, others have disappeared. A new era began in 1960, when the Stockholm University College became a state university, and preparations began to create a campus for this new seat of learning. During the tour, we will look at art, architecture and nature at Frescati, inside and out, focusing on the period from 1960 until the present day.

Merit Laine will guide the tour. She is Associate Professor of Art History and Curator of the Stockholms University Art Collections.

Exhibition: In Life and Death

I liv och död - ny utställning på Vasamuseet.

Meet some of the people who died on the warship Vasa when it sank on the 10th of August in 1628.

The exhibtion tells the story of how they perished, but also offers a glimpse of how they lived.

In recent years, researchers at the Vasa Museum have re-examined the skeletons in collaboration with experts in DNA, osteology and isotope analysis. This has resulted in more information about, among other things, what these people looked like, how they were dressed and what they carried with them on their journey, and about where they came from, whether they were related to each other and what diseases they were predisposed to.

The exhibition also tells a story of the human aspects of the disaster. Its aims to display a little something about the happiness and anticipation of the travellers which suddenly turned into chaos and despair.

Meet the couple who died in each other’s arms, the boy with the fancy shoes and the woman in a red cap.
