This Year’s Exhibitions
We celebrate encounters where new perspectives are born from unexpected combinations – and you are invited to be a part of them.
Masterful meetings
Norrviken carries the marks of a master’s vision, and the nature around us is a living masterpiece. In 2025, we will let these worlds interact in a series of exhibitions where tradition meets innovation.
Among this year’s exhibitions is Birds, where photographer Tim Flach captures the unique expressions of birds. In the fashion exhibition In the Weave of Creation, four designers – Frida Jonsvens, Bea Szenfeld, Linnéa Samia Kahlil, and Martin Bergström – interpret Norrviken’s gardens through couture and art.
