We are in Stockholm for a few days visiting our son Torgeir, who lives here. I was hoping to find some spring here, but it has not come much further here than back home in Norway.
Well, spring or no spring, there is always a million things to do in Stockholm.
Like visiting Nordiske Museet, The Nordic Museum, which we did today.
The museum is huge and has several very interesting exhibitions going on. We manage to see them all, with sore feet and backs as a result, lol.
They all impressed me, and who knows, there might be more posts from the museum, but the one I want to talk about today is the one called "Table settings"
Copied from the museum's webpage
Interiors featuring table settings from the 16th century to circa 1950: tables for banquets, coffee and tea parties, and tables for aperitifs and aquavit – all are on display in this exhibition. It highlights food and drink, customs and traditions pertaining to meals and the ways in which crockery, cutlery and drinking vessels have changed and developed.
Take a look at a late 16th century dining table, a banquet table featuring confectionery from the late 17th century, a table laid for serving Swedish punch, a table for a special dinner and for a tea party from the 18th century, a breakfast table and one laid for serving aquavit in the 19th century. A 20th century coffee party table will also be on display.
I love china.
I love to set tables
I love to give parties.
So walking through these rooms was pure bliss.
What about a swan for dinner?
Well, I will never ever serve that!
