Autumn break with a ghost tour! During the autumn break from October 24 to November 1, it will be atmospheric, cozy and sometimes a little spooky when the castle is open with activities for the whole family.

Shimmering splendors and trivial things, luxury and everyday life fill the general's residence. Skokloster Castle is the largest private palace ever built in Sweden. The architecture, the intact interiors and the large collections of objects make Skokloster Castle one of Europe's foremost Baroque castles.
The extensive collections include a wealth of furniture, crafts, textiles, weapons and books from the 17th century. In addition, there are objects from the castle's later owners in the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries. Better than in most places, we know here who made, used and admired the well-preserved furnishings and objects.
Bar, restaurant, shop, guided tours and drink tastings. Current exhibitions: True Crime (until March 2027) Drink Land Sweden (permanent exhibition). Absolut Absolut (until March 2028).

The Vasa Museum has become an obvious part of Stockholm's skyline. With its masts jutting out over Djurgården, it has become a beacon for curious tourists and Stockholmers. Vasa's residence has not always been so grand. After the ship was salvaged, it was given a temporary home in the Wasavarvet shipyard where she stayed between 1961 and 1988 – a whole 27 years!
THE COMPETITION
In 1981, an open Nordic architectural competition was announced for the new permanent Vasa Museum. 384 proposals were submitted. And it was the Swedish architects Marianne Dahlbäck and Göran Månsson's entry "Ask" that won. Construction of the museum began on November 2, 1987, after Prince Bertil inaugurated the building and laid the first foundation stone at an old dry dock from 1878.
VASA'S LAST JOURNEY
And soon the ship would be hidden from outsiders for almost a year. In September 1988, the ship was built into a protective shell in its place inside the Vasa shipyard. This was to prepare the journey to the new museum. A journey that the ship would make by sea. In December 1988, the Vasa made its last voyage to date at sea. Resting on a pontoon, the ship was transported inside a protective shell to its new home. The ship was now in a water-filled dry dock inside the new Vasa Museum. And slowly, the water could begin to be released from the dry dock and the protective shell around the Vasa could be removed.
THE NEW MUSEUM OPENS
In the summer of 1989, the sneak preview of the new museum, which was still a construction site at the time, began. And almost a quarter of a million visitors were able to see the partially exposed ship. On June 15, 1990, the museum was officially inaugurated by Carl XVI Gustaf, and since then millions of visitors from all over the world have found their way here. 20 years later, the premises had become too small. With over a million visitors, we began expanding the museum in the fall of 2011. The construction was completed in May 2013.
Art gallery, sculpture park, artist's home. Robert and Barbro Nilsson – Life in color and form until 29/3 –27.

Between 1911 and 1913, the first extension was built, an open-air studio in the form of a loggia, designed to improve Carl's working environment. The sculptor had contracted severe stone lung caused by inhaling dust while carving stone.
As Carl Mille's income from sculpture commissions increased during the 1920s, adjacent land was acquired on the southern slope of the cliff. With the addition of the middle terrace, the sculpture garden became larger and another sculpture workshop, Lilla Ateljén, was built.
During the Milles couple's time in the United States from 1931-50, the pace of construction at Millesgården slowed down. However, Evert Milles drew up new floor plans in anticipation of upcoming expansion projects.
In 1936, Millesgården was converted into a foundation and given as a gift to the Swedish people.
Before the Milles couple returned to Millesgården in 1950, construction began on the large Lower Terrace with monumental replicas of free-standing sculptures and fountain groups from the USA and Sweden. The lower terrace, with the couple's new residence Anne's House, designed by Evert Milles, was largely complete by the time of Carl Milles' death on 19 September 1955.

The Thielska Galleriet is considered Sweden's foremost art museum and is beautifully situated in a walled park on Blockhusudden on Djurgården in Stockholm. The house was created for the banker and financier Ernest Thiel's magnificent art collection, was designed by Ferdinand Boberg and was completed in 1907. The Thielska Galleriet museum was the home of the art patron Ernest Thiel until 1924 and is largely preserved in its original condition.
The unique collection from the turn of the last century contains works of art by, among others, Bruno Liljefors, Edvard Munch, Eugène Jansson, Carl Larsson, August Strindberg and Anders Zorn. The collection and the house form a beautiful unit. The upper floor has been designed according to Thiel's idea of two large halls "whose walls would be covered with paintings". Both halls, and the large Munch Hall, receive beautiful daylight from the glass roof. In the tower room there is Nietzsche's death mask and graphics by Edvard Munch. On the lower floor is the gallery section, which consists of 5 rooms in a row. Temporary exhibitions with contemporary artists are shown here. In the long term, the old curator's residence will also be used for exhibitions and project activities.
The different parts of the buildings have been added to each other in a way that brings to mind both the Italian Renaissance and southern European and oriental building traditions. Equally relevant is its affinity with the special form of late Art Nouveau represented by the architecture of the so-called Viennese School. It is characterized by geometric and cubic forms and clean surfaces with sparse decoration.
In the hilly park there are sculptures by Auguste Rodin, Tobias Sergel and Gustav Vigeland, among others, which will eventually be combined with contemporary expressions. Ernest Thiel's urn is buried in the rock under Rodin's sculpture The Shadow.

Carl Eldh (1873-1954) is one of Sweden's most famous sculptors. His works can be found in a large number of public places, museums and private collections in Sweden and abroad. Beautifully located in Bellevueparken in Stockholm, overlooking Brunnsviken, Carl Eldh's studio is preserved as a museum.
In the original studio building, which was built in 1918-19 according to drawings by architect Ragnar Östberg, Carl Eldh lived and worked for over thirty years. The studio has remained largely untouched since the artist's death and, in addition to work tools and personal belongings, houses the majority of Carl Eldh's collected works, over four hundred works in plaster, clay, stone and bronze are on display.

Liljevalch's exhibition program is aimed at both a very broad audience and those who are particularly interested in certain artists or art and design trends. Each new art year begins with the well-known jury-judged Spring Salon.
Liljevalchs belongs to the city of Stockholm and was inaugurated in 1916 as the first independent and public art gallery for contemporary art in Sweden. The building was designed by architect Carl Bergsten and is located on the scenic Djurgården in Stockholm.
Admission 165 SEK, pensioner/student 135 SEK. Free admission under 18 years.

Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde, originally the home of Prince Eugen (1865-1947), is today one of Sweden's most visited art museums. The museum offers a varied and extensive range of exhibitions and programs. A selection of Prince Eugen's own art, works from the collections and temporary exhibitions are on display throughout the year.
The museum consists of the main building, “The Castle”, which was built in 1903-1905 as a residence for Prince Eugen, and the gallery building that was added in 1913. The architect Ferdinand Boberg designed both buildings, but in close collaboration with Prince Eugen. The prince, who was the son of King Oscar II and Queen Sophia, was one of the foremost landscape painters of his time. He was also a significant art collector and a central figure in Swedish cultural life.

Drottninggatan 85.
The author August Strindberg (1849-1912) lived the last four years of his life in what he himself called the Blue Tower, a three-room apartment without a kitchen at Drottninggatan 85, four flights of stairs up. The residence in the Blue Tower is the only one of Strindberg's 24 apartments in Stockholm that can be seen.
Thanks to his good friend Vilhelm Carlheim-Gyllenskiöld, who documented the apartment and ensured that Strindberg's legacy was not dispersed after his death, the three-room apartment could be reconstructed and opened as a museum in 1973. In addition to the apartment with Strindberg's own furniture, the museum consists of basic exhibitions depicting Strindberg as a writer, painter, photographer and theatre man. Temporary exhibitions, lectures and other program activities are regularly arranged.
Adjacent to the museum is Strindberg's own library, consisting of 2,800 volumes. For researchers and the general public there are large collections of photographs, press clippings, posters and program sheets. By arrangement, the museum's library with 4,000 volumes of Strindbergiana can also be used. The museum has a wide selection of books by and about August Strindberg, as well as postcards, posters etc. for sale at the reception.

Current. Personal. Important. Urgent. Historical. Funny. Dark. Beautiful. Big. Small. The city is full of stories. We see it as our task to make these stories accessible. We do this by collecting, researching, protecting, preserving, describing, documenting, engaging, angering, delighting, debating, inspiring, learning, listening and entertaining.
The stories make us remember our city's history. The stories also give us perspective on our city in our own time. And while we look back, we create future stories about Stockholm through our lives in the city.
The idea of the City Museum is to be in the middle of all that. In the middle of the storytelling. We want to be a place for Stockholm stories. A place for Stockholmers and visitors to the city.

As an open-air museum, the entire Överjärva farm is covered, but certain buildings and places are particularly central to the visitor experience. The barn, which is currently being renovated to accommodate animals and offer exhibitions about the farm's history for both young and old, will be an important part.
Another important building for the visitor destination is the Yellow Villa, which is now being renovated internally and adapted for the Överjärva farm café with garden seating.

With its extensive and unique postal history and philatelic collections, the Post Museum in Stockholm is considered one of the world's foremost postal museums. It is a national museum that collects, preserves and displays the history of the Swedish postal system so that current and future generations can enjoy this cultural and historical heritage.
The museum is located in a beautiful cultural center dating back to the 17th century. It was purchased by the Post Office in 1720 and housed Stockholm's only post office until 1869. The museum was inaugurated in 1906. At the time, it only included a few rooms, but today it occupies the entire house. In total, the house has 3,300 square meters, of which 2,300 square meters are for visitors.

Enjoy the feeling of walking among the free-flying butterflies in large tropical greenhouses. Among waterfalls and lush vegetation, you will discover the wonders of nature. Discover the mating dance of the butterflies, the joy of the caterpillars in eating and if you are lucky, watch when a butterfly hatches. Some of the butterflies are imported here as pupae, and some butterflies go through their entire life cycle inside the greenhouses at Haga.
The Butterfly House covers over 3000 square meters and the surroundings are tropical. The temperature never drops below 25 degrees during the day, and even at night it is at least 18 degrees. The humidity is always high and these conditions make the butterflies thrive. During a year, several thousand butterflies live here, and every time you visit us there are at least 700 butterflies of a variety of different species. The butterflies are exotic in our latitudes, while they are relatively common at home. There are no endangered butterflies at the Butterfly House.

Marabouparken art gallery has been located in Arthur von Schmalensee's former cocoa laboratory in Marabouparken since 2010. The park is a visionary recreation facility for employees of the Marabou factory that grew up by the Bällstaån River in Sundbyberg during the 1940s and 50s. When the city of Sundbyberg purchased Marabouparken in 2006, it was decided to invest in a renovation and extension of the laboratory to house a new art gallery, restaurant, art education for children and young people, and meeting rooms.
The renovation aims to highlight the park's full potential as a national tourist destination. The art gallery is run by a foundation that has been active in Sundbyberg since 2005 and whose goal is to present a selection of the most interesting contemporary Swedish and international artists to both local and international audiences. As an institution, we want our visitors to encounter current artistry in exhibitions that explore and reflect what it is to be human today and that introduce ideas and working methods that exist within contemporary art in an exciting way.
