18TH CENTURY – SWEDEN AND EUROPE
A century of difficulties and hardship, but also a century marked by a growing belief in science, optimism for the future and utilitarian thinking. This new exhibition at Nationalmuseum Jamtli focuses on the relations between Sweden and the rest of Europe during the 18th century in the field of visual arts and applied arts. War, diplomacy, trade and the birth of rococo are just some of the themes addressed in the works shown. Portraits, landscapes, everyday interior pictures, and also unique sketches and drawings that have never before been exhibited are among the 180 works from the Nationalmuseum’s collections.

FOOD
Plant-based, meat or insect burgers? Why do we like certain types of food, but screw up our faces at things we’re not used to? And while some people load up their larders in the autumn and devote whole weekends to cooking, others live on ready-made food and are regulars at the local food store or take-away.
Jamtli’s “MAT” (FOOD) exhibition takes you on a food-focused journey through time, looking at our relationship to food, from hunting and fishing a thousand years ago to today’s trends when food is no longer about survival.

A PHOTOGRAPHIC WALKING TOUR
New times, new expressions. When social distancing belongs to the ordinary, and culture and concerts risk becoming an exception, that when creativity thrives. “Music is the forest I want to get lost in” is an interactive photographic and musical experience in which the visitor sets their own pace. Take a walk through Östersund and look out for the 24 photos placed in different display windows around the city. The exhibition is a selection of concert photos by the photographer Katarina Norström, including the Stockholm Jazz Festival, Urkult (folk festival), Melodifestival (Sweden’s Eurovision Song Contest qualifiers), and Östersund’s own Storsjöyran festival. If you have a QR reader on your phone, you can listen to the songs simultaneously on Spotify. Start at Mittpunkten shopping centre or Svenssons ramar, for example, and then follow the descriptions of the exhibition tour placed next to each picture.
