In the various rooms of the exhibition, visitors were treated to a cavalcade of music, verses and images from Hellsing\u2019s works. You could enter Hellsing\u2019s world of wordplay and imagination, take it in, be inspired and make your own mark.

As an author, reviewer and debater, Hellsing had a significant impact on the transformation of Swedish children&#8217;s literature in the 1940s. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"object-cover w-full h-[30rem] mobile-sm:h-[16rem] mobile:h-[18rem] rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20170509-4.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-aos=\"\" data-aos-duration=\"\" class=\"flex relative items-center justify-between w-full m-auto tablet:w-3\/4 tablet-sm:w-full tablet:flex-col-reverse desktop-sm:px-4 gap-7 flex-row-reverse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col items-start justify-center w-full gap-5 max-w-[40%] tablet:max-w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"-demi text-darkGreen\">A colourful exhibition<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg-style\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hellsing is a good starting point for both spreading knowledge about our literary heritage and conveying the importance of daring to break traditions, question conventions and create freely. Hellsing saw the children\u2019s books as a work of art, in which image and text were equally important, rhythm and melody were at the centre and each spread was its own world in which to lose oneself. At the same time, many of his verses and stories share a simplicity and familiarity with everyday life, in which vegetables, shoes, reels of thread and pastries play the main roles.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"object-cover w-full h-[30rem] mobile-sm:h-[16rem] mobile:h-[18rem] rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/den-flygande-trumman.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div id=\"\" class=\"flex flex-col w-full m-auto py-7 fp-image-contain \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full min-h-[900px] mobile:min-h-[590px] overflow-hidden rounded-xl desktop-md:rounded-none flex justify-center items-center tablet:items-end tablet:px-4 mobile:px-0 fp-image-contain m-auto relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-aos=\"\" data-aos-duration=\"\" class=\"object-cover w-full max-h-[860px] min-h-[700px] mobile:min-h-[430px] rounded-xl desktop-md:rounded-none\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/namnlost-6.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"seasons":[],"class_list":["post-5425","exhibitions","type-exhibitions","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"information":[{"is_show":false,"show_info":null,"store_info":null}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions\/5425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibitions"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions\/5425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5541,"href":"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions\/5425\/revisions\/5541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"seasons","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/seasons?post=5425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
