Curating
Brynja Sveinsdóttir studied the International Master's Program in Curating, including Art, Management and Law
–As part of my programme I worked as an intern for ten weeks at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. My internship turned into a six month project based hire as curatorial assistant, where I worked on the exhibition Ett sätt att leva at Moderna Museet Malmö.
–I now work as project manager at Gerðarsafn Kópavogur Art Museum, where I take care of the events, education and manage the museum's art collection. I have also curated exhibitions at the museum.

Magdalena Holdar, Art History and Curating
I love the dynamics in groups with students from different countries and backgrounds.
”We learn a lot from each other and really make use of our differences.”
Magdalena Holdar is a teacher in Art History. She has worked in an international setting for many years and stresses that Stockholm is a city of opportunities for humanities students.
”When you study our international master’s programmes you don’t only meet Stockholm University’s students and lecturers but also have the chance to establish useful contacts at museums and other important art institutions. We have many successful collaborations in this area.”
Fredrik Krohn Andersson, Art History
As a lecturer I have a lot of interaction with the students.
Fredrik Krohn Andersson is an Associate Professor of and a teacher in Art History.
His research is on Architectural History, examining how buildings and environments can be interpreted as communicating and mediating social, cultural and political phenomena.
“I think it’s really great to be a researcher at Stockholm University. As a lecturer I have a lot of interaction with students at all levels, which I enjoy very much. Maybe it’s a cliché, but the best part with being a researcher here is to actually learn new things all the time.”
Fredrik Krohn Andersson teaches at our International Master’s Programme in Art History.
