This worn sofa had a central place in Alva and Gunnar Myrdal's home.
The Myrdals began their life together when they were young. When they met in 1919, Gunnar was 20 and and Alva 17. They married in 1924. In the 1930s, they collaborated on several important projects. Their most famous work is the book Crisis in the Population Question, which had a major impact on public debate and social policy. Alva and Gunnar Myrdal's joint efforts continued even as their careers went in different directions. Did they sit on this sofa when discussing their work?
The sofa was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2009 by Alva and Gunnar Myrdal's family.
