Portraits at Thielska – Family and Friends

In this exhibition the Thiel Gallery explores its own identity, with a focus on the banker and art patron Ernest Thiel who founded the Gallery. He acquired several portraits of his nearest and dearest and of himself. The images reveal his interest in art and give insights into the family history and the social activities that went on in the house. The exhibition features paintings, photographs, prints and busts from the decades around 1900. An installation with costumes borrowed from the Royal Dramatic Theatre’s costume studio gives the visitor a glimpse of the social life at the turn of the Century.
