To our little visitors

We will jump again in parks and museums. This is how Swedish girls and boys did it in this work by Palle Nielsen.

In 1968, the young activist Palle Nielsen approached the Moderna Museet in Stockholm with a proposal for turning the museum into an adventure playground. For a month, his ‘Model for a Qualitative Society' offered a space exclusively for children, without parents or educators. Lars Bang Larsen proposed the utopia of a self-organized society that aimed to encourage personal freedom and collaboration between individuals. Since then, the experience of Moderna Musset has not been repeated.
