In the museums a few pictures and some childsized furniture and household equipments were saved for the future, but there was nothing for me to use in a paper. Therefore I asked a well-known weekly family magazine to publish an appeal for stories and pictures about children's playhouses. The response was overwhelming. First I finished my Bachelor of Arts degree and later I used the material in a summer exhibition at Leksands Kulturhus in Dalarna, Sweden. Next spring I will publish a book with pictures and stories about playhouses from all around Sweden. The tradition of building houses for play and joy goes back to the last decades of the nineteenth century and are still going on.
