Culture enriches our lives and through its expression, we can convey thoughts, feelings and observations in a way that is exciting to other people. Culture is to the adult what playing is to the child. By thinking about the way others express things, you can foster your own creativity and playfulness. The culture in Sunne is always alive, but for a period in August, it gets extra time and space during the highly regarded Culture Week. Come and be inspired in Spectacular Sunne in the middle of the V\u00e4rmland cultural landscape!<\/p>\n\n\n

V\u00e4rmland culture in Sunne<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Culture is dance, visual arts, film, theater, literature and music. We visit galleries, art exhibits, concerts, craft shops, studios and cultural environments. Sunne is overflowing with culture. Ever since Selma Lagerl\u00f6f\u2019s time, and before that, the site has inspired creative people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guide to Sunne\u2019s art and culture <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone wants a complete guide. It is difficult to make a fully complete guide in a place like Sunne. In Sunne, there is a rich cultural life with exhibits, theater, dance and music. Artists are found in many cottages. During Culture Week or at a local gallery, they open up to get into the creative mindset again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunne Culture Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A wide range of cultural activities is offered during Culture Week in Sunne. In a very extensive programme, you can experience art, crafts, literature, music, workshops, lectures and creative people in beautiful environments. Cultural Week in Sunne is organised by the Selma Lagerl\u00f6f Literature Prize Foundation. The award ceremony is the highlight of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storytelling tradition: Selma Lagerl\u00f6f and G\u00f6ran Tunstr\u00f6m<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two of Sweden\u2019s most famous authors come from Sunne. They describe places around Sunne in their stories. M\u00e5rbacka, Selma Lagerl\u00f6f\u2019s home, is of course central and should be on the checklist when visiting Sunne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selma Lagerl\u00f6f\u2019s book \u201cG\u00f6sta Berling\u2019s Saga\u201d describes farms from a bygone era and people who were around at the time became inspirations for characters in the story. G\u00f6ran Tunstr\u00f6m describes his childhood and environments in Sunne with a spirit of the times from the 1950\/60s. In our app Sagolika Sunne, there are stories about the two authors you don\u2019t want to miss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story lives on and we can see it today in Ber\u00e4ttarladan where V\u00e4stan\u00e5 Teater puts on its famous performances. At Silleg\u00e5rden in V\u00e4stra \u00c4mtervik, Ida Sahlstr\u00f6m\u2019s work can still be seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power of culture in Sunne and Selma Lagerl\u00f6f\u2019s works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Past and present are woven together. It\u2019s probably the case with our history that culture that comes from human life is preserved to a certain extent while other things are transformed. There is no doubt that Selma Lagerl\u00f6f had great significance for the culture in Sunne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She used places and people who lived around her in this area when she wrote her stories. One of the main characters in \u201cG\u00f6sta Berlings Saga\u201d is the Major\u2019s wife at Ekeby. In reality, she lived like Christina Gustava Hallenia at the farm Ojervik and her history is close to the one that Selma Lagerl\u00f6f talks about in the book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rottneros Park was built to resemble Ekeby<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Selma Lagerl\u00f6f\u2019s literature has fascinated many readers. Svante P\u00e5hlsson lived with his family in the manor house next to the mill. When the manor house burned to the ground on Saint Lucy\u2019s Day 1929, Svante decided to rebuild it and make it even more magnificent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building has the splendor described in Selma Lagerl\u00f6f\u2019s book G\u00f6sta Berlings Saga. When you visit the park, you\u2019ll see that his vision came to be about far more than a magnificent main building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today it is a flower and sculpture park that is visited annually by many with an interest in flowers and plants, art and sculptures, literature and especially by families with children, who will find a green oasis with a playground for the playful. Svante P\u00e5hlson\u2019s mission to create the fairy tale Ekeby for real succeeded.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tossebergskl\u00e4tten: a place for inspiration in Sunne<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Selma Lagerl\u00f6f was inspired by environments in and around Sunne. One such place is Tossebergskl\u00e4tten. In her literature, the mountain is called Gurlitta Kl\u00e4tt. In her time, there was no road up, those who went up rode horses or walked up the precipice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another famous person, the author G\u00f6ran Tunstr\u00f6m, who grew up in Sunne during the middle of the 1900s, was also fascinated by the view.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe highest thing is to see God. The next highest thing is to stand on Tossebergskl\u00e4tten and look out at this world<\/em><\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>G\u00f6ran Tunstr\u00f6m<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Take a trip up Tossebergskl\u00e4tten and contemplate the view. The place may be inspiring for you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e5rbacka memorial farm, Selma Lagerl\u00f6f\u2019s childhood home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Selma Lagerl\u00f6f died and her will was opened, it was clear that she wanted her childhood home to be preserved and shown to the public. A foundation was to be formed to manage the farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it was done. It makes it possible for you and everyone else to see and be inspired by her home. The house is furnished as it was in her time, which is now a time capsule from the time when she lived here. Many have admired her shiny copper bench in the kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selma Lagerl\u00f6f herself was very proud of the then hypermodern stove. Today, plants are grown in the garden that Selma Lagerl\u00f6f wanted there and Selma\u2019s currant cakes are served in the caf\u00e9. Who can resist such great cakes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Klenell glass artists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creative artists have found their place in Sunne. The Klenell family lives and works here in Edsbj\u00f6rke just north of Sunne. In her glass display, Inga-Lena Klenell creates fantastic glass art that has been shown in group and solo exhibits both in Sweden and internationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Sliperiet in Borgvik, a glass exhibit signed by Inga-Lena Klenell was shown one summer. Some examples of places outside Sweden\u2019s borders are the Museum of Glass in in Tacoma, Washington in the U.S., House of Sweden in Washington D.C. and Figge Art Museum Davenport. Inga-Lena also creates art that is found in public environments. If you visit the Sunne library, you will find some of her works there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
