Utställningskritik #5, 2024 brings Pia Cederholm’s review of the Uppland Museum’s new permanent exhibition at Akademikvarnen, Uppsala, Sweden, UPP-LEV! – Time, Thoughts, and Things in Uppland, which was inaugurated on November 30, 2024, with Kvorning as the exhibition architect.

“History consists of an endless flow of events and stories. All these moments become parts of a greater whole – the history of Uppland. The passage of time, from the Stone Age to the present day, is depicted through more than 1,300 artefacts and individual stories and life journeys. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through history, where the place, Uppland, emerges as a living and multifaceted region.” writes Pia Cederholm and continues –

“The rounded display walls gradually open like petals as you move deeper into the exhibition on this winding journey through history. The feeling is that the exhibition never ends; there are always new life stories to immerse yourself in, but the time is running, and the museum closes at 5:00 p.m. Outside the Uppland Museum, darkness has fallen, and Fyrisån flows on as if nothing has happened. But it has! Much has happened in Uppland. And many, many fragments of the past’s joys and hardships are now commendably revived in UPP-LEV!”

Utställningskritik is Sweden’s only magazine dedicated to museums and exhibition criticism.

Kvorning ApS wins competition regarding a feasibility study of Lofotakvariet for Museum Nord and SKREI Eiendom, Norway.
Lofotakvariet is part of the new large museum project SKREI at Lofoten, Norway, where construction of the main building, Otolitten, is well underway. Kvorning’s international winning team includes Danish animal welfare experts, Norwegian architects, and Australian aquarium technologists as sub-consultants.

Project Manager Jens-Henrik Andersen, SKREI, states:

“We are very happy to have such a skilled partner as Kvorning on board, with high expertise in exhibition design and practical experience with aquariums. We look forward to exploring the possibilities for the further development of Lofotakvariet together. The feasibility study runs in parallel with the construction of SKREI, which is set to open in 2026. In collaboration with Kvorning, we look forward to creating an aquarium that is a great place for fish, animals, visitors, and staff – and that enhances the communication of the fascinating life in the Lofoten Archipelago.”

We celebrate the first International Day of Potato by focusing on the contribution of the potato to the lives of producers and consumers with the theme: Harvesting diversity, feeding hope.
