Discover the design treasures of world-renowned architect Gunnar Asplund together with the curators of ArkDes. Dive into his groundbreaking works, from original sketches for the Paris Exhibition in 1925 to drawings from the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930.

Unboxing

With the new concept of Unboxing, we explore drawings, sketches, and photographs from the collection’s four million items. Every afternoon, we unveil new folders from the archives, collectively unpacking and investigating them within the ArkDes Collection exhibition.

Through Unboxing, you get the chance to peek behind the scenes at ArkDes. Here, you can delve into the stories hidden in the museum’s collection, study the drawings closely, and converse with the curators about architecture, design, and construction. What insights can a drawing truly offer, and how is an analog photograph transformed into a digital format?
