NATIONAL MUSEUM (MUSÉE NATIONAL)
Go there and contact
Founded in 1792, the Nationalmuseum (then Konglig Museum - Royal Museum) is one of Europe's oldest fine arts museums. In 1866, it opened its doors to the public in its present form, housed in a building designed by German architect Friedrich August Stüler.
Five years of renovation. Although the museum has undergone numerous alterations over the years, the most extensive renovation work, lasting five years, began in 2013. When the museum reopened its doors in 2018, visitors discovered a magnificently renovated space that was resolutely turned towards the future, with the aim of preserving the works of the past in the best possible way. The collections have also been considerably enriched, and there are now no fewer than 700,000 works and objects, ranging from painting to design, drawing and engraving, that you can admire through a chronological display that will take you on a journey from the 16th to the 20th century. A major addition to the museum's collection is the Salle des Trésors, featuring part of the world's largest collection of miniature portraits (600 of the 5,700 works in the collection). Design aficionados won't want to miss the café and restaurant. Furniture, lighting, tableware... everything here has been created to order by the finest Swedish designers and craftsmen: a shining example of the country's expertise in this field!
