The exhibition is called the TV trampoline – from children's television to contemporary art and literature. There are eleven artists and writers who have each been given a TV show to be inspired by.

The children's programs were shown on SVT from 1965-1985, partly made by SVT, but also purchased from different parts of the world.

"This is a contemporary cultural heritage," says museum director Maria Lind.

Balthazar was shown around the world

An example of the latter is the inventive Professor Balthazar from the former Yugoslavia, whom Stockholm-based artist Behzad Khosravi Noori saw as a child when he was growing up in Iran.

"When he came to Sweden 15 years ago, he discovered that his new friends here had also seen Professor Balthazar," says Maria Lind.

Drutten, Gena and Pippi

Some other children's programmes in the exhibition are Drutten och Gena, Fableernas värld, John Blund, Pippi Longstocking and Sesame Street.

In addition, there will be an exhibition of Staffan Westerberg's dolls, props and sketches from television and theatre. Here, for example, you can meet Storpotäten again – if you dare.

The exhibition runs until 28 January 2024.
