Tora Vega loved colour
Tora Vega Holmström liked to travel and she loved big cities with lots of people. She was born in Skåne at the end of the 19th century.
She studied art in Gothenburg, Denmark, and Germany. Tora Vega loved colour and thought about how colour can impact how you feel. Do you have a colour that makes you happy? Or a colour that makes you feel strong?
When Moderna Museet is open again you are welcome to come and look at Tora Vega’s colourful paintings.
Create like an artist – from home!
Come along one of the museum’s educators and get inspired by artists and artworks at Moderna Museet. We will create artworks from things we might already have at home. There is no right or wrong, ugly or beautiful when you are creating. But there is one rule – there are no rules.
Welcome to the Workshop!
In the museum’s YouTube series “Create like an artist” you will receive tips on how you can create your own artworks at home inspired by artists in Moderna Museet’s collection. New episodes are released every Sunday. The episodes are approximately 3–5 min long and are aimed at children between 4 and 9 years old.
Feel free to share your creations on social media. Tag us @ModernaMuseet and use #VerkstanModernaMuseet.
