Exploring Folk Art in Historical Interiors

A multidisciplinary research project, supported by the Swedish Research Council and conducted at the University of Gothenburg's Department of Conservation, revealed significant insights into the decorative folk arts and crafts of Hälsingland's farmhouses. These interiors, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, were analyzed using craft science methods to interpret their historical and cultural significance. The study, concluded in 2019, aimed to understand the intricate patterns and techniques employed in these farmhouses, contributing valuable knowledge to the field of craft sciences.
