Modern and contemporary art museum inside a former nineteenth-century naval drill hall on a small island.
This guide to Moderna Museet in Stockholm follows eight people building a giant reclining sculpture inside a former naval drill hall in 1966, working through the night behind a locked-off wall. Artists Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely and Per Olof Ultvedt built her skeleton from rebar and skin from glue-soaked fabric, while director Pontus Hulten reacted to the smell and the mess taking shape. A Swiss art student washing dishes nearby got hired on the spot to bend wire for the piece.
