Talk about a full house at the Saab Car Museum last Saturday during the opening of the photo exhibition \"Roger & Saab.\" Visitors came from near and far, and the creator himself was visibly moved by the massive reception.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"A fantastically pleasant event that aligned with everything this team has achieved,\" summarized Roger L\u00e4rk on the opening day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By \"team,\" he referred to everyone involved in realizing the exhibition, and two of these \u2013 curator Peter B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m and operations developer Mikael Granberg \u2013 were present during the opening and shared some insights into the work.<\/p>\n

Before the exhibition was officially declared open, L\u00e4rk received not only flowers but also a scale model of his personal favourite model of all categories \u2013 a Saab 96.<\/p>\n

\"A completely fantastic exhibition\"<\/strong>
\nThe exhibition consists of 92 pictures of Saab-related events, often with people rather than the car itself in focus, taken by L\u00e4rk for the local newspaper TTELA (formerly Trollh\u00e4ttans Tidning). When it now opened to the public after a long period of preparation, many took the opportunity to absorb the rather unique image material.<\/p>\n

One of these was Sten-\u00c5ke Lyngstam, former head of the Volvo Museum in Arendal.
\n\"A completely fantastic exhibition where the moments are captured in an incredible way. It is the people who built the brand and the cars. This really comes through in the exhibition,\" he said.<\/p>\n

Former colleague<\/strong>
\nTTELA's former editor-in-chief Torbj\u00f6rn H\u00e5kansson worked with Roger L\u00e4rk from 1983 and for 25 years forward, so he has followed the photographer's work closely.
\n\"So much fun that the pictures are exhibited like this, they are incredibly good and I hope lots of people will see the exhibition,\" said Torbj\u00f6rn.<\/p>\n

Peter F\u00e4ssberg works just a very short stone's throw from the Saab Car Museum, and besides owning both Leissner Data and Gotanet, he is also a person with a great interest in local history.
\nAnd he praised \"Roger & Saab.\"
\n\"Fantastic! Many memories come back, and several of these stories I did not know,\" said F\u00e4ssberg.<\/p>\n

\"Few are privileged\"<\/strong>
\nAnother visitor was Ann-Britt Olsson, who never worked at Saab but still very much felt the company's ups and downs.
\n\"My husband and I ran a kitchen furnishing store, and when things went badly for Saab, it was noticeable among the customers, and vice versa. I think the exhibition is very nice, so interesting to see the pictures and read what is written about them,\" she said.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of the day, when most of the visitors had left, Roger L\u00e4rk tried to gather his thoughts. Many impressions were channeled into two concise sentences:<\/p>\n

\"I am very grateful. Few are privileged to experience something like this. \"<\/p>\n

The photo exhibition will be on display at the museum until Sunday, April 12, 2026.<\/p>\n
