Great collection of watercolour & oil paintings from Anders Zorn’s travels. Very interesting to see how he used photography as a notebook but also to paint from directly.

5. Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 716 reviews
Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde, originally the home of Prince Eugen, is now among the most-visited art museums in Sweden. In the Mansion the Prince's Private Apartments remain mostly unchanged, while the two upper floors and the Gallery building are used for temporary exhibitions or for exhibiting works by the Prince or from his collections. The estate is set in a beautiful parkland, featuring centuries-old oak trees. Its situation by the inlet to Stockholm harbour presents the visitor with stunning views of the water. Welcome to Sweden's most beautiful art museum!

A few days ago,I visited this small ,cozy art museum in Stockholm's Djurgarden.This art museum was the home of Prince Eugene,a splendid Swedish painter .It has several fine paintings by Prince Eugene such as;"Winter Morning"and "Old Palace",among others.Swedish painters with delightful paintings in this art museum include Ernest Josephson("Goosegirl"),Anders Zorn("Faleuse"),Per Ekstrom,Nils Kreuger("Cows on the Beach"),Carl Hill("Path With Poplars")and Julius Kronberg("Sappho"),among others..I also saw quality paintings by Norwegian Painters,Lars Jorde and Gerhard Munthe. I also relished their fine temporary exhibit of oil paintings and watercolor paintings by Edward Bourne-Jones,the British Pre-Raphaelite Painter.This art museum is well serviced by Stockholm's Number 7 Tram.Seniors like myself receive a discount on their admission fee.

7. Jamtli

Jamtli offers an exciting journey through the history of Jamtland and Harjedalen. Here you will discover stimulating milieux and enjoy being part of history. The museum has permanent exhibitions about the region's past alongside temporary exhibitions of arts and handicrafts. Some exhibitions take up current matters of public interest and explore them from an historical perspective. Every summer, the open air museum turns into Jamtli Historieland (living history theme park). The historical buildings come alive with history and role plays, where visitors are drawn into eventful and playful stories from 1785 until 1975. Jamtli Historieland enables you, as a visitor, to associate with the actors who bring to life and portray people from the past. Jamtli gives access to our regional heritage and provides a place where we can discuss our values and life-styles, then and now. Jamtli gives you the opportunity to make the most of your visit. Perhaps you would like to bring your own picnic basket and spend your time relaxing in the stunning parks. Or you might want to meet the actors, such as Astrid and Sture who farm the Per Albin-torpet (The Smallholding) from 1942? Or you may be fascinated by the 1,000-year-old tapestries, "The Overhogdal Tapestries". You choose, so bring your whole family, your friends, your company employees or just come on your own to an enjoyable, entertaining and magical museum where you can see, touch and act!

We really enjoyed our visit to Jamtli. They did a great job of displaying all sorts of Viking artifacts including the wonderful tapestries. The tapestries were fascinating and well worth a visit for them alone. Plus, if your ancestors are from Scandinavia, they've got great displays on peasant life in the late 1800's - what your ancestors left (escaped) to go to America (or the big city).

Fotografiska is a vital centre for contemporary photography in the heart of Stockholm. The museum is a popular meeting point not only because of its exhibitions featuring the work of world renown photographers, but also for the museum's fantastic view and great food.Previous exhibitions: Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sarah Moon, Sally Mann, Anton Corbijn and Albert Watson. Fotografiska also offers workshops, courses in photography, live bands, and much more.

Fotografiska is a bit away from the city centre and you need to walk ca 800 meters from Slussen metro station but this is a must-visit place if you are interested in art. I have seen a number of great exhibitions of highly recognised photographers there (like David Lachapelle, Erik Johansson, Nick Brandt, Kirsty Mitchell). If you are an art lover, you must reserve at least 1,5 hours; if not, you can spend your time at the restaurant&cafe that have great views over the water to Djurgården and Gröna Lund. The museum is open from 9 to 23.00. Highly recommended.
10. Artipelag
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 357 reviews
Artipelag is an international venue for art, good food, events and activities – beautifully set on Varmdo in the Stockholm Archipelago, just 20 minutes from the city centre. The name Artipelag is a combination of Art, Activities, and Archipelago. It says a lot about what we can offer, but it does not tell it all. Our intention has been to create a destination of high international quality – with boundary-crossing art exhibits, inspiring activities, and good food. Getting here is easy; whether by bus, car or boat. There are 350 parking spaces, a pier for passenger boats from Stockholm City, a long guest marina for visiting private boats and public bus service daily.

Artipelag is a new museum that opened some 5-6 years ago on one of the outer islands of the Stockholm archipelago. We booked a day tour with Stromma, and took one of the old ferries which takes roughly 2 hrs and 15 minutes to get to the museum and the same time back. The ferry ride through the archipelago itself is beautiful.The museum itself is a beautiful structure and fully integrated into the nature. It houses regular special (modern art) exhibits. There is also a nature trail, along which a number - I recall 15 or so - of outdoor sculptures are set up. The trail takes roughly an hour to walk - fully recommended. Artipelag also houses a nice café and a good restaurant... if you have a few days in Stockholm, consider making the trip to Artipelag!
