It preserves not only furniture and artefacts, but a lifelong passion for the beautiful, the everyday and the overlooked.

Torsten started collecting as a child, with a dream of one day being able to show what an ”ordinary collector” could achieve in a lifetime. The dream became a reality - and the home he left behind is today a museum full of details, emotions and things with history.

The rooms reflect what a bourgeois home might have looked like at the beginning of the 20th century - but also something more. The cupboards and drawers, shelves and tables are full: porcelain, textiles, silver, pipes, ornaments, clocks and furniture in a careful and personalised order. Nothing was too small to be saved. ”The time of this object may also come,” as Torsten himself said.

Today, the Torsten Nordström Museum is shown via guided tours and is run as a foundation.
