See the exhibition ‘Astrid Lindgren and the Power of Stories’
At the beginning of the 20th century, a little girl on the Näs farm hears the first story of her life. It sets her little childhood soul rocking, one that never quite comes to rest. As the girl, named Astrid, grows up, she continues to write to amuse the child she once was, with her words going on to influence people all over the world. In the exhibition ‘Astrid Lindgren and the Power of Stories’ you can get to know Sweden’s greatest children’s author but also get an understanding of the person she was outside the limelight.
Current exhibitions
At Astrid Lindgren’s Näs the major Astrid Lindgren exhibition is always available to view. Alongside this, we produce temporary exhibitions in the pavilion, in the vicarage and in the gardens. Our exhibitions deal with different perspectives on Astrid Lindgren’s life and authorship or are linked to specific themes found in her books or that were otherwise important in her life.‘
Visit Astrid Lindgren’s childhood home
Visiting Astrid Lindgren’s childhood home is like travelling back in time. Everything is still there, just as it was when Astrid was little. The harmonium she never wanted to practise on, the beautiful cushion she embroidered, the bed she was born in. Astrid Lindgren returned here as often as she could throughout her long life. From May to September, we offer daily tours for groups of up to 12 people. To book a guided tour of Astrid Lindgren’s childhood home at Astrid Lindgren’s Näs, you must first purchase an entrance ticket to the park.
The gardens at Astrid Lindgren’s Näs
The gardens at Astrid Lindgren’s Näs are encompassed in a garden park created with inspiration from Astrid Lindgren’s life and writing. The gardens consist of various lush green spaces that invite you to play and explore as well as enjoy quiet conversations and a moment of rest.
