The Children's Advent Calendar

Inspired by Germany, the first printed Swedish advent calendar was published in 1934 by the Swedish Girls' Scout Association, now known as the Scouts of Sweden. The well-known storybook illustrator Aina Stenberg-Masolle was commissioned to create the illustrations for the calendars from the very beginning until 1964, and the calendar was named The Children’s Advent Calendar.

At Millesgården, a selection of these original watercolors is on display in a festively decorated artist’s home.
