The exhibition is based on topics, with occasional classics from the national-romantic art in the Nordic countries at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The works of the great names in art history, such as Richard Bergh, Anders Zorn, August Strindberg and Vilhelm Hammershøi, primarily emphasise the remarkable survival of nature motifs, treatment of art and the traditions of psychological art, whereas the chosen works all seem topical and contemporary today. One of the pearls in the Malmö collections, the numerous drawings of Carl Fredrik Hill, is introduced as a special phenomenon.
