Art & Artists
From Richter at the Fondation Louis Vuitton to Frida Kahlo in Mexico City.
A cultural journal · Est. in Sweden
Founded in Sweden.
Now reporting from
everywhere.
A cultural journal written first-hand, with correspondents in Stockholm, Warsaw, and Porto — and the art, architecture, and exhibitions worth crossing a border for.
What it is
Suecia Polonia began as a quarterly magazine that carried Polish culture to a Swedish audience. Today it does the same thing on a wider map. We travel to the art, buildings, and exhibitions that move us — and write about them from the room, not the press release.
The name stays. The borders multiplied.
The lineage
A magazine, reopened.
Suecia Polonia was founded in Stockholm — a quarterly devoted to Polish literature, art, and opera, built to keep a culture alive far from home. It ran for years, then closed.
We've reopened it with the same instinct and a bigger world: to look closely at culture wherever we find it, and bring it back to whoever's curious enough to read. Today that means three homes — Stockholm, Warsaw, and Porto — and a standing curiosity about everywhere else.
What we cover
Four rooms we keep walking back into.
Architecture & Houses
Buildings worth the trip, and the homes great architects built for themselves.
Exhibitions
What's on the walls right now, including home turf at Serralves in Porto.
Culture at Large
And, now and then, the mainstream things worth showing up for.
What we stand for
Four habits, kept honestly.
- 01
Go and see.
First-hand or it doesn't run. We write from the room, not the press release.
- 02
Curious, not credentialed.
Serious attention without the art-world gatekeeping. You don't need a degree to look closely.
- 03
An outsider's eye.
Rooted in Sweden, Poland, and Portugal, we come at the canon from its edges, not its center.

A conversation continued.
We didn't start this. We're keeping a family habit alive: carrying culture across borders for anyone curious enough to follow.
