Exhibitions

We regularly present exhibitions that explore the era around the turn of the 20th century, with connections to Hallwyl House and the people who lived and worked here. We also present briefer exhibitions, where contemporary design and art take place that breaks with, or connects with, our environments and collections.

New exhibition: War of the corsets opens on March 13

The corset is one of the most controversial garments in the history of fashion. It has been worn for centuries, shaping women's bodies according to the ideals of different times. At the end of the 19th century, it came into particular focus, and a lively debate flared up in Sweden that came to be known as the corset war.
