| الوصف: | In 2011 a new museum opened in Stockholm – Sven-Harry’s art museum – named after its initiator and funder, the building contractor Sven-Harry Karlsson. Besides a gallery for temporary exhibitions, the museum includes a permanent collection of art and applied art installed in a penthouse on top of the building. The installation is conceived as a full-scale replica of the lower floor of Karlsson’s former home in an eighteenth-century manor house. The article focuses on the reconstructed home and aims at situating it within a tradition of full-scale displays of architectural interiors – period rooms – in Swedish cultural history museums. Since the turn of the twentieth century, eighteenth-century architecture has had a central position in the Swedish cultural heritage. Sven-Harry’s replicated home, a small manor of the rococo era, fits perfectly well into the national canon, which for a long time focused on the homes of the elites to illustrate development within the arts. Even though the recreated milieu in Sven-Harry’s museum depends on traditional museum practice, it is also typical of contemporary innovations. In the last decades, even prestigious cultural history museums have utilized the period-room format in unconventional ways, and the bold reconstruction of Sven-Harry’s home is clearly a representative of this trend. |
