Rephotography – rephotographing older buildings and cultural environments

How have our cultural environments changed over time? In connection with the 50th anniversary of the building conservation year 1975, we invite you to an archive café with a focus on re-photography of older buildings and cultural environments. 

Several museums around the country have carried out re-photography projects. The method involves revisiting a location and photographing an older image motif anew. By comparing old and new images, it is possible to see how our buildings and cultural environments have changed over time. 

Norrbotten Museum has also carried out a small project with re-photography, focusing on a selection of architectural monuments around Norrbotten. At the archive café, the museum's building antiquarians Kristin and Erica will talk about the project. The museum's photographer Rúnar will show images and answer questions.

Welcome!

Drop-in from 13.30 p.m. Free entrance. We offer coffee!
