Stories about humans visiting the realms of fairies, trolls, and other supernatural creatures have been present in the folklore for millennia. Recently, Nationalmuseum Jamtli in Östersund, Sweden, has put on display 110 works of art representing Nordic mythology in an attempt to create a similar experience for its visitors. The exhibition includes works by artists such as Elsa Beskow, Carl Larsson, John Bauer, and Ivar Arosenius. Created during the 19thand early 20th centuries, before the advent of modern cinema, these works were made with a largely narrative purpose. Their role was to communicate Nordic culture and heritage to the next generations of Swedes. The proposed paper will provide a twofold analysis of the exhibition. First, we will explore how artists in the 19th and 20th centuries engaged in medievalism and represented the imaginative landscapes of Nordic mythology and sagas. We will also address how these works of art create an image of collective imagined realities of the past generations. Second, we will discuss how the exhibition itself, through its displays, becomes a landscape. While the art represents imaginative landscapes, the exhibition is a material milieu. By analysing the exhibition’s ways of display and the visual storytelling created by the museum, we will contribute to the understanding of how material landscapes can help modern individuals interact with the imaginative landscapes of the past.
