The Joy of Giving – silver donations
Nationalmuseum’s collections include many exquisite, representative examples of Swedish and European silver from the 16th century to the present day. This unique collection has come about partly as a result of many generous donations and financial contributions received over the years. This exhibition presents some 80 gifts received by the museum in recent decades.
The objects presented in the exhibition range from magnificent baroque and gracious rococo pieces to modern silver from the decades around the turn of the millennium. There are tankards, bowls, jewelry, candlesticks, vases, and goblets – all of them silver.
The museum has many generous donors, and we have selected a number of them to feature in the exhibition. They include dedicated collectors, art lovers who have kindly supported our work through regular or one-off donations, and artists who have wanted to share their life’s work with a wider audience.Â
