Bror Hjorths Hus

Bror Hjorths Hus, Art museum in Uppsala, Sweden.

Bror Hjorths Hus is an art museum in the former home and studio of sculptor and painter Bror Hjorth at Norbyvägen 26 in Uppsala. The 1943 villa, designed by Sten Hummel-Gumælius, is a faluröd wooden house in the Uppland building tradition. It holds the largest collection of Hjorth's paintings, sculptures, reliefs and drawings, plus sketches for his public commissions.

Bror Hjorth lived and worked in the villa from its completion in 1943 until his death in 1968. The building became a museum in 1978, when a reception wing designed by Sten Hummel-Gumaelius was added. In the mid-1990s an exhibition hall by Bengt Löfberg was built.

The museum is run by the Bror Hjorth Foundation, founded by Uppsala Municipality and the Hjorth family. Beyond Hjorth's own paintings, sculptures, reliefs and drawings, a purpose-built hall shows temporary exhibitions by other artists, and the building holds a museum shop and a café.

The museum is accessible by bus lines 2 or 7 to the Evolutionsmuseet stop and then a short walk, or by a 20-minute walk from Uppsala's city center. The location near the Botanical Garden makes it easy to combine with other attractions in the area.

The villa's faluröd (Falu red) wooden exterior follows the Uppland building tradition and stands out among the surrounding houses of the Kåbo district. The museum is run by a municipal foundation, the Bror Hjorthstiftelsen, founded by Uppsala Municipality and the Hjorth family.
