Come with us on a journey through the lives of the artists Carl and Karin Larsson, from 1853-1928. The bright and the dark years of childhood, the period at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm, the years in Paris and in the village of Grez-sur-Loing where Carl proposed. Then back to Stockholm and Gothenburg before they finally settled down for good in Lilla Hyttnäs in Sundborn with their seven children and a life full of art, gardening and self-sufficiency.
