The exhibition In Black and White will be closed from Tuesday, September 1 to Sunday, September 6 due to maintenance work. In the meantime, you are warmly welcome to visit the museum’s new exhibition The Trials and our interactive installation Dimensions in Testimony.
The exhibition is about Sanna's relationship and dealing with the fact that her grandmother Hédi Fried was a Holocaust survivor and came to Sweden after the liberation with the UNRRA transports (The White Boats). Hédi had a special impact on Sanna's life and inspired Sanna to paint at an early age. Sanna has painted her grandmother in nine different works.
The exhibition was on display during the summer of 2026.

It is an intimate portrait of a strong woman who has moved on from something unimaginably terrible and lived beyond what was expected of her.
