Fact and Fiction: Getting to Know Sweden's Authors

In a small exhibition located in the Kalm-Seaborg Gallery on the second floor, ASHM examines Swedish authors whose works have leaped across culture lines to impact the American literary landscape.  From Carl Linnaeus’s writings about scientific taxonomy in the 1700s to the socio-political themes explored by crime novelist Stieg Larsson in the 21st century, this exhibit features objects and images that illuminate the life and work of some of Sweden’s best-known authors.
