Sweden’s most famous symbol, the Dala horse, originates from Dalarna, and Dalarna’s museum likely has the world’s largest collection of these horses. So, how did it happen? – That the small red wooden horse from Mora came to be the symbol of all of Sweden? In this guided tour, we will guide you through selected exhibitions, feel the wings of history, and hear the exciting story of the carved horses from the deep forests of Dalarna.
With your newfound knowledge of this fascinating craft, you will then get a horse each, to paint and decorate as you wish. Be inspired by the original or create your very own design. Of course, you get to take your horse home with you!
*GOOD TO KNOW This tour will be guided in english. The tour is a total of 1.5 hours, with half the time being a guided tour and the other half for painting your Dala horse on your own. When you finish decorating your horse, it is, of course, yours to take home. You won’t find a better memory from your trip to Sweden!
The tour is designed for an adult audience. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by a paying adult. For smaller children pensils and paper are awalible, only children with payed ticket are getting a horse for painting.The horses to be decorated are approximately 10cm tall and come pre-painted red. The museum provides an inspiration, brushes, and paint on-site for your creativity.*
Anders Zorn and Carl Larsson
The public now has the opportunity to see LF Dalarna’s unique art collection, which usually hangs at the headquarters in Falun. Most of the approximately thirty paintings are by Anders Zorn and Carl Larsson, depicting scenes from Sundborn, Mora, and Alhambra. Other works are by Olof Arborelius, Winter Carl Hansson, and more.
As more art began to be sold abroad in the 1970s, LF Dalarna took the initiative to start collecting. Former CEO Karl-Erik Liljegren explained: “The purpose of buying Dalecarlian art was not primarily to make money but rather to ‘bring home’ the province’s art.”
