The Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati will present “The Scandinavian Home: Landscape and Lore” from June 13 through September 20, 2026, in the museum’s Fifth Third Gallery. Organized by The Frick Pittsburgh, the exhibition brings one of the most significant private collections of Scandinavian art in North America before the public for the first time.

Drawn from the collection of Pennsylvania-based collectors David and Susan Werner, the show includes approximately 75 works spanning painting, furniture, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and works on paper. The objects illuminate a period of profound cultural transformation in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden from 1880 to 1920—when ideas of home, landscape, and national identity became central to the artistic output of each country.

The exhibition offers what the museum describes as a comprehensive and multimedia exploration of Nordic culture through enchanting landscapes, portraiture, and exquisite decorative arts. “The Scandinavian Home: Landscape and Lore” follows on the heels of the museum’s current exhibition “Rembrandt: Masterpieces in Black and White,” which is on view through May 17, 2026. The Taft Museum of Art is located at 316 Pike Street in Cincinnati.
