The Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati will present “The Scandinavian Home: Landscape and Lore” from June 13 through September 20, 2026. The exhibition brings one of the most significant private collections of Scandinavian art in North America into public view for the first time, organized by The Frick Pittsburgh.
The show spans approximately 75 works from the private collection of Pennsylvania-based collectors David and Susan Werner, covering the period from 1880 to 1920 — a time of far-reaching cultural change across Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Works include paintings, furniture, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and works on paper, examining how ideas of home, landscape, and national identity shaped Nordic art and material culture during a formative era.
The exhibition follows the Taft’s current show, “Rembrandt: Masterpieces in Black and White — Prints from the Rembrandt House Museum,” which runs through May 17, 2026, and features nearly fifty etchings making their first appearance outside the Netherlands in 27 years.
The Taft Museum of Art is located at 316 Pike St. in Cincinnati. Admission is charged for special exhibitions. For tickets and hours, visit taftmuseum.org.
