Nordic Impressions - Art Spanning 200 Years

Winter is a great time to explore some of the best art galleries and exhibitions in the city, so for our next exploration, we have selected the incredible artistic diversity of Nordic art, spanning nearly 200 years.

Harriet Backer - På Bleikevollen (Bleaching Linen)

We will explore the different art exhibits on display at the Phillips Collection and then head out to a nearby pub for some food, drinks and conversations on arts and travel.

Nordic Impressions - Art Spanning from 1821–2018

Nordic Impressions is a major survey of Nordic art on display at the Phillips, spanning nearly 200 years and presenting 53 artists from Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, as well as the self-governing islands of Åland, Faroe, and Greenland.

Helmer Osslund - Autumn, Nordingrå

The exhibition celebrates the incredible artistic diversity of Nordic art, from idealized paintings of the distinctive Nordic light and untouched landscape to melancholic portraits in quiet interiors and mesmerizing video works that explore the human condition.

Harriet Backer - Christening in Tanum Church

Nordic Art - Mystique and Culture

The Nordic art on display at Phillips retains a certain mystique but also focuses on themes that have held a special place in Nordic culture for centuries: light and darkness, inner life and exterior space, the coalescence of nature and folklore, and women’s rights and social liberalism.

Post-Exhibition Food & Drinks

After exploring the different art exhibits on display we will head out to a nearby pub for some food, drinks and conversations on arts and travel.
