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. In his essay, Lars Bang Larsen analyses the utopia of a self-organized society that aimed to encourage personal freedom and collaboration between individuals. The documentation of this work forms part of the MACBA Collection.

Palle Nielsen
Palle Nielsen (Copenhagen, Denmark, 1942) studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and is an artist and researcher in urbanism and landscape architecture. He currently lives and works in Oster Kippinge, Denmark. Shortly after completing his studies, he distanced himself from the artistic system to become an activist, principally through the construction of children’s parks in working-class areas of Copenhagen and its surroundings.
