Eva Fidjeland is a Swedish artist, photographer, poet, and specialist in stained glass work. Born in Stockholm in 1955, she lives in areas like Orrefors or Nybro, Sweden, and has a background that includes learning stained glass techniques in the artists' village of Ein Hod, Israel.

She contributed to the preservation and presentation of Sweden's cultural heritage through her work on the iconic Vasa ship, a 17th-century Swedish warship (built 1626–1628) that famously sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged in 1961. The ship is now the centerpiece of the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, which moved to its current impressive building and was inaugurated in 1990.

According to multiple references from Fidjeland's own artistic portfolios, websites, and profiles (such as her Crevado portfolio, personal sites, and artist directories):

• The Vasa Museum commissioned her to reconstruct glass details (often described as glass parts, details, or windows) for the Vasa ship.
• This involved using techniques aligned with historical authenticity, including mouth-blown glass sourced from Germany in at least some accounts.
• The work focused on restoring or recreating elements like the glass in the ship's stern windows or other translucent/decorative glass features, which are part of the vessel's elaborate Baroque-style decorations (the stern is famously ornate with sculptures, gilding, and colorful elements).

The specific year 2009 mentioned in your query aligns with when this contribution is sometimes referenced in her bios, though exact timelines can vary slightly across sources—likely post-1990 museum opening, as ongoing conservation and display enhancements continued for decades after the ship's raising and the museum's establishment.

This project highlights her expertise in historical reconstruction within the craft of stained glass and glass artistry. It preserves an important piece of Swedish naval and artistic heritage by ensuring the ship's appearance (including its windows and light-transmitting elements) remains as authentic as possible for public viewing.

The Vasa itself is renowned for its near-perfect preservation and rich sculptural program (over 700 wooden carvings), and details like the glass helped complete the immersive experience in the museum.
