Way Gallery Sthlm

WAY gallery is both a physical and digital gallery that represents artists on the same platform. With this as a basis, the vision has been to create a place that elevates artists and offers the opportunity to exhibit and/or sell their work but at the same time providing space for development in the personal expression.

Thiel Gallery (Thielska Galleriet)

Reviewed By StevenKolsteren - Groningen, The Netherlands

Spectacular, very good! The house was built in a Art Nouveau/ Secession style for a wealthy industrial and collector. His collection is outstanding, very high quality works by Swedish artist friends, by Munch and Danish artist Willumsen, and a sculpture garden. It is near the ferry to Nacka beach. A great place to walk, rest and simply the best museum in town.

Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde

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!

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.

Fotografiska Stockholm

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.

Reviewed By 300kristak - Stockholm, Sweden

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.

Artipelag

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!

Moderna Museet - Stockholm

Moderna Museet is the place for lovers of art and culture and one of Europe’s leading museums of modern and contemporary art. Moderna Museet collects, preserves, shares and exhibits modern and contemporary art. The Moderna Museet collection is one of Europe’s finest and includes art from the early 20th century and photography from 1840 and onwards. Visit us at Skeppsholmen in central Stockholm. You will find Moderna Museet with our restaurant, shop, café and exhibitions in the middle of the green island.

Reviewed By fallenstarseven

A little out of the way from other major museums on its own island, but still relatively easy to get to, the Moderna Museet doesn't look like much from the outside but offers a spectacular collection of modern art in a well presented setting. We enjoyed a spectacular show of Egyptian Surrealism on our visit and superb selections including Picasso, Warhol, Matisse, and many other modern favorites, including well curated selections of Swedish and Scandinavian artists often overlooked in other world modern collections. If you love modern art, you shouldn't miss it.

Nationalmuseum

Nationalmuseum is Sweden's museum of art and design. After five years renovation and refurbishment, the museum is open again to the public. Masterpieces from six centuries are displayed in a new light and in harmony with the 150-year-old buildning. More than 5,000 artworks in large and small formats share stories from their times with present-day admirers.

Dansmuseet - Rolf de Mare's Museum of Movement

At the heart of Stockholm is Dansmuseet, a museum dedicated to world dance. Apart from the permanent displays, several temporary exhibitions are put on every year. Dance films are always available and live performances. There is a large selection of events and activities to choose from during autumn, winter and spring.

Reviewed By Cynhoff - Brewster, United States

This museum is dedicated to dance and costumes from various cultures. The exhibits are very interesting with music, videos and displays. I only wish I had allowed more time!
