Bror Hjorth (1894-1968) grew up a couple of miles north of Uppsala. He received his artistic education in Paris, where he lived and worked throughout the 1920s. He trained as a sculptor, but became just as much a painter and a professor in Drawing at the Royal Art Academy in Stockholm.

He was influenced by both older and contemporary art and was inspired by folk art and music.
The museum has the largest and most representative collection of Bror Hjorth’s art.
