+ OVERVIEW
In the 1950s and 1960s, Finn Juhl worked to organize exhibitions across the globe to bring Nordic design onto the international platform. A few examples include The Arts of Denmark exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Two Centuries of Danish Design exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Milan Triennial as well as other international exhibitions. He organized more than 60 exhibitions in total across Denmark, the US, Italy, Germany, Britain, Australia and numerous other countries and truly propelled the reputation of Nordic design, so is fondly referred as the “Father of Danish Modern Design” today.
