Next Saturday, the Gothenburg Museum of Art invites you to the opening of one of Ilon Wikland’s largest exhibitions in Sweden to date – Ilon Wikland’s visual worlds. Fairytales, adventures and everyday life. With over 400 original works, visitors will be given a unique insight into Ilon Wikland’s artistry – from the magic in Mio, My Son to adventures in Ronja the Robber’s Daughter and everyday life in Lotta on Troublemaker Street. The public is invited to participate in a playful environment that showcases Wikland’s rich visual worlds and encourages children to explore.
“Ilon Wikland’s visual worlds. Fairytales, adventures and everyday life” is the most comprehensive exhibition of Ilon Wikland’s work in Sweden to date.

In a setting where nostalgia and adventure go hand in hand, the galleries become a place where old and young can meet across the generation gap.
