Ilon Wikland’s 95th birthday is being celebrated with an anniversary exhibition at the Estonian House in Stockholm. The exhibition features around 20 works and a timeline highlighting key moments from Wikland’s long career: from her earliest preserved works from the late 1940s to one of her most recent illustration assignments for Peter and the Wolf in 2014.
The exhibition also features a selection of short story illustrations from Hemmets Journal in the 1950s, detailed animal and nature sketches, as well as colorful paper dolls from the 1970s.
Several of the works come from Ilon’s private collection and have never been displayed publicly before.
The exhibition is open from February 8 to February 26, 2025.

Estniska Huset – Eesti Maja, Wallingatan 34, Stockholm.
