Find out more about the history and continued importance of Swedenborg’s eighteenth-century lusthus, or summerhouse, along with fascinating insights into the the artists and archival items involved in the new exhibition, Swedenborg’s Lusthus: On Memory and Place, with curator Stephen McNeilly.

Built as a wooden retreat at the far end of his garden in Stockholm in 1747 and serving as a focal point for his writing and otherworldly conversations, the lusthus has come to stand as an emblematic presence of Swedenborg’s visionary legacy for over 250 years.
