Norrköping Exhibition of Art and Industry

[1] The exhibition was opened by the Crown Prince Gustaf and was mostly held at the area south of the Sylten neighbourhood.

Werner Northun designed the Maskinhallen (engines hall) at a total of 3,600 m2 (39,000 sq ft), as well as the main restaurant seating 400 people and the Thaliatemplet theatre (500 folding chairs).

The cultural parts of the 1906 exhibition attracted huge attention when over 900 pieces of art were shown in 15 different rooms.

Artists included Anna Ancher, Michael Ancher, Ivar Arosenius, Oscar Björk, John Bauer, Prince Eugen, Peder Severin Krøyer, Carl Larsson, Birger Palme, Georg Pauli, Hanna Pauli, Georg von Rosen, David Wallin, Nabot Törnros and Anders Zorn.

In her book Kungens rosor ("The King's Roses") Martinson tells about her work at the restaurant.
