Bror Hjorth House (also known as Bror Hjorths Hus) is a museum in Uppsala, Sweden, set in the former studio and home of the Swedish artist Bror Hjorth. The address is Norbyvägen 26, 752 36 Uppsala, and the museum can be reached by telephone at +46 18 16 91 07.
The house now displays Hjorth's sculptures, paintings and wider artistic legacy. Visiting it is a way to see the working world of one artist as well as his finished pieces, since the building was once where he lived and made his work.
What to expect
- Sculptures and paintings by Bror Hjorth
- Works that reflect early 20th-century Swedish modernist art
- A place that keeps the atmosphere of a former artist's studio and home
Planning your visit
Because the house is a museum with a personal character, it suits visitors with an interest in Swedish art and in the history of modernism. Calling ahead on the number above is sensible before you travel, to confirm current opening arrangements.
Uppsala, a university city a short distance north of Stockholm, offers a good setting for a visit, with its historic centre, cathedral and river walks to combine with time at the museum.
