Description

This exhibition poster was produced by Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm for a major retrospective devoted to the Swedish explorer, geographer, and artist Sven Hedin.

The artwork featured on the poster is adapted from one of Hedin’s own expedition drawings, depicting Tibetan monks opening a richly adorned temple door — a scene evoking discovery, reverence, and cross-cultural curiosity. The finely detailed illustration is framed by minimalist typography typical of Scandinavian exhibition design, creating a harmonious balance between art and information.
