Upp-lev! is the title of KVORNING’s permanent exhibition for Upplandsmuseet in the old watermill, Akademikvarnen, Uppsala, Sweden. Uppland’s history is long and complex, and the regional museum’s exhibition showcase that in every sense. In creative collaboration with Upplandsmuseet, we developed

an exhibition scenography inspired by the cogs and mechanisms of a watermill. It presents a kaleidoscope of the museum’s treasure trove of unique objects, living stories, and intriguing models. This flexible solution allows the museum to display its collection in a fun and inspiring way for years to come.

Maria Ljunggren, Department Head of Upplandsmuseet – “In an excellent and transparent collaboration with us, KVORNING has made sure to enhance our content with a thoughtful design, and the content has offered a solid base and soul to the design.” KVORNING won the assignment in an invited competition.
