Hasselblad Center & Göteborgs konstmuseum
Engelska | Exhibition | Guided Tour

In a collaboration between the Hasselblad Center and the Gothenburg Museum of Art we arrange two special guided tours with a focus on the portrait, with examples from the Hasselblad Center’s exhibition 202 people in a room and the Gothenburg Museum of Art’s collection.

 

The exhibition 202 people in a room clearly shows that there are endless ways to create portraits. This can also be seen in the Gothenburg Art Museum’s collection. There, the depicted are shown from many different perspectives. What is a portrait and what means can be used to convey a person and expression?

 

Half of the guided tour takes place in the Hasselblad Center and half in the Gothenburg Museum of Art’s collection.

 

The guided tour will be held in Swedish. No pre-booking. The show is included in the entrance ticket.

 

ADMISSION: Day ticket SEK 65 Museum card SEK 130/110. Free entry for students (showing student ID) and youth under 20 years of age.
