    I've been there plenty of times now, and I always loved it. The last time was yesterday, with my baby son for the children's tour. The people working there are super friendly. While we waited for the tour to start, I had fika while the super nice women working at the front desk "talked" to my son. The tour was nice, thank you, Maria!

    To move around in the artist's house, atelier and see so many of the works up close is a treat. Great staff adds to the experience and for an art museum it's very family friendly.

    A small and beautiful museum, which, in addition to Bror Hjort's beautiful art, always has fine exhibitions in the adjacent art gallery. A coffee in the garden is always enjoyable. Always pleasant and committed staff to ask. Free - just one thing.

    Trevligt museum med intressant konstnär - kaffe och tre sorters kakor rekommenderas i break mellan visningarna.

    A truly vibrant and complete gallery of Bror Hjorth's work, a very satisfying visit even for those who know nothing about him, with lovely welcoming and knowledgeable staff, just remember to put shoe covers on! Strongly recommended

    (Translated by Google) More than 40 art objects from mainly the 70s and from the owner of Galleri Kavaletten, which was active at the time. A mixed, good collection, well worth seeing and easy to find something you like to see. Then Bror Hjort's own works are very worth seeing. (Original) Drygt 40 konstobjekt från främst 70-talet och från ägaren till Galleri Kavaletten, som var verksamt då. En blandad, bra samling, väl sevärd och lätt att finna något du tycker om att se. Sen är Bror Hjorts egna verk mycket sevärda.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice little museum! We came there for Jan Stenmark's exhibition which was very good and on top of that we got to see Bror Hjort's work! Then we had coffee in the garden which tasted yummy. Thanks!!! 🙏🙂👍❤ (Original) Mycket trevligt litet museum! Vi kom dit för Jan Stenmarks utställningen som var mycket bra och på köpet fick vi se Bror Hjorts alster! Sen fikade vi i trädgården som smakade mums. Tack!!! 🙏🙂👍❤

    Mysigt litet museum men det går ganska fort att gå igenom det. Det kostade inget att gå in.

    I visited this museum for the Museums Night and I really enjoyed it. It’s a small and cozy place. :)

    Absolutely recommended - the highlight of my trip to Uppsala 🇸🇪 - I have never been to such an authentic, homely and cosy home-turned museum, so cosy as if Bror Hjorth may be returning home anytime. As if my visit is an invasion of his privacy. They hardly changed anything in his house, not just where the furniture and books were placed, but also where he positioned his paintings and sculptures. Here I am, having just my shoes covered in protection, in where he used to paint, rest and eat. That experience is strangely intimate. Another lovely surprise is how violin was a central object in plenty of his works. I learnt from the museum workers that he grew up surrounded by fiddlers and local music in the Älvkarleby municipality. It goes without saying that he liked the instrument and certainly enjoyed being around fiddlers but I was pretty certain he played the violin himself - this has been confirmed after spotting the few broken violin bows at the corner of his studio. He also owned a baroque violin bow 🎻💙 Also a big shoutout to the team there ❤️ the friendliest, most hospitable and loveliest people I have ever met at a museum. The museum itself is great enough and the staffs make the experience so much better!
