Family-friendly tour of Maria Nilsson Thore’s exhibition

Approximately 30 minutes

The exhibition shows original illustrations from several of Maria Nilsson Thore’s childrens books. The exhibition’s design has drawn inspiration from the images and has space for reading and creating.

With her characteristic style and harmonious color scheme, Maria Nilsson Thore has created picture books that are easily recognizable and with images that are tempting to step into.

Maria Nilsson Thore (born 1975) usually paint her illustrations with watercolor in several layers and in pastel shades on large papers. She avoids certain colors, for example she says she can’t stand bright blue.
Ideas for new characters come from a constant doodling.

The exhibition includes images from eight of Maria Nilsson Thore’s books, including Petras prick, Gränsen and Vem ser Dim?, as well as a selection of images from the book series about Alla tre.
