THIS WAS OK
At a time when no other media outlets took the biggest pop and rock stars seriously, the magazines *Poster* and *OKEJ* produced exclusive, meticulously planned photo shoots with Van Halen, AC/DC, Kylie Minogue, Metallica, Samantha Fox, Ozzy Osbourne, Noice, Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode, W.A.S.P., and dozens of other legends. The '70s and '80s—when things were at their most fun!

Agneta Gynning – MOVING ON
Sculptures by Agneta Gynning and photographic art from the collection of Claes and Christina Lindquist come together in this unique exhibition.
Agneta Gynning works with sculpture in a variety of materials, ranging from cool, austere bronze and marble to rubber and glass. Experimenting with her artistic language in new materials is one of Agneta’s passions. Glass is the latest material Agneta has begun working with in collaboration with Orranäs Glasbruk. Agneta’s art successfully blends influences from both classical and modern styles. It is inspired by the subconscious, and her works convey a constant sense of movement and life. Agneta held her first exhibition in 1995; since then, her work has been shown in Scandinavia, Paris, London, New York, Miami, Shanghai, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, and Florence. In Sweden, you can find Agneta’s sculptures in both public spaces and private collections. In addition, Agneta often creates custom pieces for companies.
Welcome to the FINISSAGE on September 19 & 20
Agneta Gynning will be at the museum from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Fashion photography - now and then
Welcome to a grand celebration of the fascinating evolution of fashion photography - from the elegant studio arrangements of the 1930s to the transgressive and conceptual imagery of today. This exhibition brings together iconic works by the world's most influential fashion photographers and shows how their visions have shaped our view of style, beauty and identity for almost a century. In this visual landscape, the classic coexists with cutting-edge creativity, the commercial with the artistic, a place where fashion houses, magazines, photographers and models are given the space to realize their visions.
Christer Forss – The Beatles, Palais des Expositions Nice 1965
In the summer of 1965, Christer Forss was on a language trip with a friend on the French Riviera. The Beatles were on their European tour and had flown into Nice before continuing on to Madrid on July 1, 1965.
Christer's friend, who wrote for a school newspaper, had asked Christer to bring his new SLR camera with a telephoto lens. At the Palais des Expositions, where the Beatles were to perform, his friend showed his ID and Christer held the camera clearly visible so that the man in charge of press accreditation, after eyeing them suspiciously, finally wrote out two "laissez-passer" passes.passes."
At this unforgettable concert, the Beatles played 12 songs: Twist and Shout, She's a Woman, I'm a Loser, Can't Buy Me Love, Baby's in Black, I Wanna Be Your Man, A Hard Day's Night, Everybody Trying to Be My Baby, Rock & Roll Music, I Feel Fine, Ticket to Ride, and Long Tall Sally.
It was the first and only time the Beatles played at the Palais des Expositions, and after the concert they went on to La Fiesta nightclub, where they drove go-karts, among other things.

Kristian Schuller
- DANCING WITH A STRANGER
Kristian Schuller is a New York- and Berlin-based photographer. “Kristian Schuller’s photographs capture all the colors, joy, imagination, glamour, and light that were missing during his communist childhood in Romania… ‘If you aim for the stars,’ his father taught him early on, ‘make sure you reach them.’”
This contrast between constraint and imagination has become central to his creative work. Rather than merely capturing reality, Schuller constructs carefully staged, almost cinematic worlds where fashion, emotion, and storytelling converge. His background in film and costume design is clearly evident in his compositions, where models are transformed into characters and each image feels like a scene from a larger narrative.
Color and light play a crucial role. Bold tones, dramatic lighting, and sharp contrasts give the images a sculptural, almost painterly quality. At the same time, there is a distinct sense of escapism—an invitation to step into a more dreamlike reality shaped by both memory and imagination.
