– We already noticed when we unpacked that there was so much emotion in holding a calendar you haven’t seen in maybe 30 years. It’s so charged because it’s something we all share, says Frida Talik, artistic director at Teckningsmuséet.
In total, there are 104 calendars on display – from 1958 until today. A few are missing, for example the first radio calendar from 1957 and the first television calendar from 1960.
“Big lover of Christmas”
The exhibitor’s name is Lena Ahl and lives in Arboga.
– It was my mother who started collecting when I was little and then I continued. You could say that I am a big lover of Christmas. My favorites include Teasked Gumman and Herkules Jonsson’s masterpiece, she says.
In the clip, you can see the Christmas calendars changed over the years.
