Emma Zorn's Life


Show Poster (reflecting Japanese influence)

Behind every great man...
Really true in Emma Zorn's case, the wife of Anders Zorn.
She was responsible for getting preserved the house & garden and for the Zorn museum happening.

This show was exhibited rather creatively so the small galleries felt like different planets.

Her family encouraged her wide-ranging cultural interests from a young age in Stockholm. In older years, Emma became very involved with encouraging local crafts and education in Dalarna. The Zorn Museum website describes her as: "radical, outgoing and realistic."

Several photographs show her with small dogs...

You're right! They did live in Paris before moving up to Dalarna.
