Rural life – in Blekingegården and in painting

Welcome to viewing!

We begin today's tour in Blekingegården, where a prosperous farming family lived in the early 1800th century. How did people live and work back then? What did they eat and how did they maintain their hygiene? Where did they go to the toilet? Then we move on to the newly opened exhibition Skåne peasantry through the artist's eyes. Here, classically magnificent landscape painting from the 1800th century coexists with detailed interiors and naively executed depictions of childhood memories. What does art teach us about life in the countryside 200 years ago? Does it give us a true picture?

Educator Emma Larsson is today's guide.

Included in the entrance fee, no advance booking. Gathering at the back of the White House (entrance hall), where there is a sign indicating the gathering place.

Tip: more exhibitions with folk themes

Skåne peasantry – through the artist's eyes complements three other exhibitions with a folk theme in the same building:

In Allmogehallen you will also find the exhibition Häcken full – Rural life in Skåne 200 years ago. (Primary target group is children 9–12 years old but the exhibition can be appreciated by everyone!)
