Lush gourd bits from valley painters in Leksand and Rättvik are familiar to everyone. But how did Rättvik painters paint at the homes of their main customers, the big farmers in Hälsingland? What do we know about how the farming population painted in southern Dalarna - and what is the situation with Falun's many but often overlooked painters? 

In the theme day New perspectives on valley painting we look at valley painting in a broader perspective, from the horizons of both Dalarna and Hälsingland. Come and learn more about the diversity of Dalarna's interior painting, its materials, expression and distribution. Maybe valley painting is more than you thought!

Valley painting

How did the valley painters get inspiration and what colors and techniques did they use when they painted cabinets and walls in the 1700th and 1800th centuries?
Together we look at our solid collection of valley paintings and talk about content and its background. What motifs did they paint and why did they paint?
After that, there will be a workshop in our workshop where you can try out the technology and make your own valley painting.

Welcome to a few hours of creative creation for the whole family, with demonstration and workshop!

Are witchcraft trials and ideas about witches cultural heritage? If so, how is this represented in the museum's collections, in the cultural landscape and in our shared memory stories?

In this lecture, antiquarian Jennie Tiderman-Österberg discusses witch trials in Dalarna and approaches them not only as history, but as a "dark cultural heritage" that stands in relation to the Easter harbinger and tales of blue hill journeys.

Meet the museum's antiquities, which tell about cultural-historical themes and show objects from the Dalarna museum's collections. We start with a cup of tea and a cake, then a lecture and finally we take a closer look at some selected objects from the museum's collections

High and low: All is not gold that glitters - older silver in Dalarna

Date: 23 April
Time: 14:00
Price: Free

Falun, like Hedemora and Säter, have had talented goldsmiths. However, silversmiths are actually hiding behind the old designation "goldsmith". These smiths produced luxurious silver for the country's churches but also costume jewelry for its commoner population. Communion chalices, coffee pots, costume brooches and soup cups are some examples of all the objects these craftsmen left behind. Come and learn about the cultural history of silver from church to hut with antiquarian Sebastian Selvén. 

Lunch screening: AB Albin Hagström

Time: 12:00

"Per Albin Hansson built the community center, Ingvar Kamprad
furnished it and the Hagström family filled it with music.”

That's how Hagström's importance to it could be described
Swedish music history. AB Albin Hagström started to
making accordions in 1931, but it was the guitars that took off
the name Hagström around the world. The show gives a short version of the story of the small family business in Älvdalen that conquered the music world. A success story about music and popular culture, but also about entrepreneurship, industry and production.

Things that speak: More beautiful everyday items

Date: 9 May
Time: 17:00-19:00
Place: Krontallsvägen 3, Dalarnas museum magazine
Price: 175 SEK
Shown by Maria Perers
Buy a ticket here

"More beautiful everyday goods" and "the artist to the industry" were the 1900th century mottos for renewing the art industry. Erik Mornils, Jerk Werkmäster and Thomas Hellström come to Nittsjö, while Rörstrand picks Marianne Westman directly from Konstfack. Her colorful decorations are a hit in the community center. Acquiring 58-piece dinnerware is out of fashion when household items and socializing are becoming increasingly simple. We like to sit in the kitchen, which got bigger in the 60s. Based on the museum's ceramics collection, antiquarian Maria Perers tells.

Join us for a viewing and lecture about one of our largest
graphic artist, faluson Axel Fridell. His most famous graphic magazine Mr. Simmons has become a symbol of Swedish graphics at its best. Axel Fridell was a restless soul and during his short life was often on the move. His images of cities and interiors and portraits are depicted with a sure eye and captured with a great sense of light, black and the gray scales in between.

Finally we get to present Little Kersti, Big Kersti, Beautiful Karin and all the others in the exhibition Dressed in Dalarna.

Dalarna has over forty different parish-specific costumes. Some of the costumes span four hundred years of clothing and fashion development, which in turn has created a whole wardrobe of clothes for different festivals and seasonal uses. Other costumes have been created during the 1900th century and have been used as costumes on special occasions. The costumes of the Dalars have always fascinated and been an expression of identity, pride, community and, not least, craftsmanship.

Jewish traces in the history of Dalarna

This is the first proper study carried out on the historical presence of the Jewish minority in Dalarna. And it offers interesting content. When the study was initiated through a discussion between Region Dalarna's Culture and Education Administration and Dalarna's museum about one of the national minorities' presence in the region, it was clear that it was an opportunity to go through and strengthen a state of knowledge about part of Dalarna's history that has been quite lean. For a cultural history museum, it is part of society's mission to explore the past and convey to the outside world what is found. The connections between yesterday, today and tomorrow are part of everyday life, as well as the fact that knowledge and learning have an obvious place in our community.

Read the full study here.
