About Ivan Aguéli it is said that the contemporaries did not understand his art. The National Museum wanted to draw attention to the centenary of his birth with the production of a traveling exhibition about his art.

Ivan Aguéli 1869 – 1971. Artist, traveler, animal and human rights activist and much more. Certainly an awesome meeting from many different aspects for an attending young audience at this time, at Södertälje konsthall. The year was 1971. A meeting with the world, the artist and art.

The exhibition Nationalmusei vandringsutstilling nr 54 was compiled by first curator Gertrud Serner and curator Margareta Winqvist.
