The joy of giving - silver donations

The objects shown in the exhibition Givandets vary in age, from magnificent baroque silver and graceful rococo forms to modern silver from the decades around the year 2000. There are jugs, bowls, jewellery, candlesticks, vases and goblets, all in silver. The museum’s donors are many and a number have therefore been selected for the exhibition. They are dedicated collectors, art enthusiasts who have chosen to support the National Museum continuously or with occasional efforts and artists who wanted more people to be able to take part in their life’s work. The common denominator is silver. The exhibited items have been donated by Gunnar V. Philipson, Sverker Åström, Märta Christina and Magnus Vahlquist Foundation, Anna Atterling, Kerstin Öhlin Lejonklou, Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, Bengt Julin’s Foundation and the Ulf Gillberg-Lennart Agerberg Foundation.
