The museums depicted in these exquisite photographs all share both the wonderful clarity of light and color as well as the beautiful, simple living style for which Scandinavia is known. They also share the quality of seeming especially alive, because they continue to poignantly reflect the life of the person once living within their walls. Though they share these typical Scandinavian characteristics, these homes reflect a wide range of architectural styles. Included are homes of renowned figures such as Michael and Anna Ancher, Karin and Carl Larsson, Anders Zorn, Carl Linnaeus, and Eero Saarinen as well as simple farm homes and townhouses from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Nagel’s evocative photographs are perfectly balanced by the insightful writing of renowned architect Vibe Udsen.
