The exhibition opens July 22 and features numerous drawings on view from the National Nordic Museums permanent collection. In June 2020, the Museum received 943 Dines Carlsen drawings and one oil painting from the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. This significant transfer marked the Museums largest acquisition to date but was made at a time that we were closed to the public. We are delighted to share these works with our community, said Executive Director/CEO Eric Nelson.
