Art at Djurgården

Art has always had a natural place at Royal Djurgården. Art is everywhere. Venture out into nature and you’ll find monuments and sculptures. There is always something new to discover. For example, year after year, an exciting new piece is added to Princess Estelle’s Sculpture Park.

Every museum houses art, but here you’ll also find beloved art museums.

In 1905, the Thiel Gallery was built, and Prince Eugen, the Painting Prince, moved to Waldemarsudde, where he lived until his death, when he bequeathed his entire collection to the state. Liljevalchs Konsthall opened in 1916. The beloved Spring Salon has been held here since 1921 and in 2020 the addition Liljevalchs+ opened 2021. The Absolut Art Collection has been a part of the Spritmuseum since its opening on Djurgården in 2012, and at the National  Sports Museum of Sweden, art and sports intersect in an exciting way at Konsthall 16 since its opening in 2019.

We recommend you pick up a map the the tourist office and plan for a full art tour.
