Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde, beautifully situated on Djurgården in Stockholm, is one of Sweden’s most famous and visited art museums. Originally it was the home of Prince Eugen (1865-1947). Besides being a prince, he was also a well-known landscape painter and significant art collector with an important role in Swedish cultural life. In 2017 the museum won the prestigious award Museum of the Year.

All year-round, you can enjoy a selection of Prince Eugen’s own art and works from the museum’s collections along with temporary exhibitions of varied kind. The museum houses both the main building, ‘The Castle,’ where the Prince’s private apartments are preserved, and a gallery building. Outside there’s a beautiful park and garden with flowers and sculptures, several historic buildings, and a stunning view of the water.

The museum also has a restaurant that offers lunch, sandwiches, and pastries. In the garden, there’s also Café Ektorpet with a lovely outdoor seating. Of course, there’s also a gift shop where you can buy nice memories from your visit.
