Welcome to join an artistic event and a guided tour that explores the timeless rooms of the Hallwyl Museum through new perspectives. The central motif of the evening is mother-of-pearl, which has been used to make jewellery, sacred artefacts, and ceremonial objects across civilisations. With its iridescent beauty the material has not merely been used in decoration; it also symbolises purity, protection, and permanence.
The guided tour brings together dance, visual art, music and science in shimmering darkness, where the rooms, objects and paintings take on new life. Based on the interdisciplinary group’s interest in science and art, they address the fleetingness of life and our dreams of becoming immortal.
Participating artists and researchers:
- Per Hüttner
