Here begins the story of Hilma af Klint!
The Hilma af Klint's Atelier Visitor Centre on Adelsö is operated by a non-profit association founded in 2021 through a private initiative in response to a long-standing unmet need.
The Adelsö property managed by the association is the world's first visitor destination dedicated to the artist Hilma af Klint. It opened its doors to the public on 15 June 2025.
The association organizes summer exhibitions, book releases, public lectures, guided tours, and retreats at the site.
.
The Centre is not an art museum in the traditional sense, but rather a place dedicated to telling stories: about Hilma af Klint's life, artistic practice, and spirituality; about the historical and cultural context in which she lived; and about subjects connected to her, including illustration, scientific advances, cartography, the women's emancipation movement at the turn of the twentieth century, maritime history, and the idea of the "Century of the Child" championed by Ellen Key.
Hilma af Klint's Atelier opened in the summer of 2025 with the inaugural exhibition "A Place for Hilma af Klint", which explored the three places of particular importance to the artist: the Temple, the Altar, and the islands of Adelsö and Munsö, the enduring geographical anchors throughout her life. The exhibition attracted approximately 1,550 visitors.
In the summer of 2026, we present the exhibition "To Find One's Way: The Artist Friends Ottilia Adelborg and Hilma af Klint.
This summer exhibition
To Find One's Way
The artist friends Ottilia Adelborg
and Hilma af Klint
Two women. A life-long friendship. An artistic breakthrough.
Ottilia Adelborg (1855-1936) andHilma af Klint (1862-1944) met at the Royal Academy of Art 1882. As women they were pioneers, who challenged the prevailing norm. This made them stronger together and they developed a companionship which would turn into a life-long friendship.
Through art, letters and personal notes, we follow their shared journey from the years at the Academy to a life shaped by creativity, courage, and independance. A story about female artists, friendship and the desire to break new ground.
The exhibition is produced by Dalarnas Museum in Falun and the Ottilia Adelborg Museum in Gagnef, where it was first shownin 2021. Now that the Hilma af Klint's Atelier has found its place at the old vicarage in Adelsö, it feels natural to revive the exhibition here in an adapted form for this new setting.
The exhibition is open:
Sunday after midsummer June 21, 11 am-4 pm
Friday-Saturday-Sunday from June 26 to August 16, 11 am-4 pm
Saturday-Sunday from August 22 to September 13, 11 am-4 pm
Entrance: SEK 100 for adults, SEK
80 for members of the Association, SEK
50 for young between 7 and 18
The ticket is valid the whole summer.
Enjoy coffee, homemade refreshments, and light lunch sandwiches at the farm—a perfect opportunity to relax during your visit.
Visit our shop, where you'll find a carefully curated selection of books on Hilma af Klint, along with a selection of works by and about Ottilia Adelborg.
An English translation of the exhibition texts is proposed on site.

Inauguration of the exhibition 2026
Two women. A life-long friendship. An artistic breakthrough.
On 14 June, we open a new exhibition exploring the unique friendship between Hilma af Klint and Ottilia Adelborg — two women who dared to follow their own paths at a time when few did.
Through art, letters, and stories, we follow their shared journey from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts to lives shaped by creativity, courage, and independence. It is a story of women's artistic expression, friendship, and the determination to break new ground.
The exhibition is accompanied by beautifully written texts that guide visitors through the remarkable journey Hilma and Ottilia undertook together, while each also followed her own unique path.
Welcome to discover a lesser-known yet essential chapter of Hilma af Klint's life — in the very environment where her creativity and presence still remain.
During your visit, you are warmly welcome to enjoy our café, offering coffee, tea, sandwiches, and more.
Admission is SEK 100, which also gives you free entry for the rest of the summer. If you would like to become a member, we will of course be happy to arrange this on site.
