P.R.B, Nationalmuseum

We spent 2h30 enjoying a really good exhitibion.
The works of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood that Mikael Ahlund had chosen to show were inspiring:
_ they have a special atmosphere
_ they are reflexive (dealing with art history, history and modern times)
_ they show the artists' skills.

What excited me most was the "end" of the exhibition, where Arts & Crafts, Sub Rosa and Carl Larsson made a fantastic transition to the rest of the Nationalmuseum.
Mikael Ahlund and his team succeeded in creating a strong event, inscribing it in the institutional frame. What else could a demanding visitor ask for?
