European Museum Night

On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the Hôtel de Marle will suspend time to shed light on the visionary lines of Olle Bærtling. This exceptional evening proposes a bold confrontation between the Swedish master’s geometric abstraction and the creations of seven contemporary artists. As you move through the rooms, Cecilia Edefalk’s inhabited works respond to the permanent collections that trace the artistic and societal upheavals of the 18th century. Mediators will provide continuous guided tours, allowing you to grasp the secret connections linking these different eras. Between the architectural elegance of the Swedish Institute and the radicalism of the contemporary installations, this nighttime event offers a striking panorama of Scandinavian creativity. A free and rhythmic stroll to capture the spirit of a place where history meets the avant-garde.
