Strindberg Museum, Biographical museum in Norrmalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
The Strindberg Museum occupies a three-room apartment on the fourth floor of the Blue Tower at Drottninggatan 85, a building Strindberg moved into in 1908. The rooms are preserved and reconstructed with his own library and belongings, mostly in Jugendstil, while the tower's copper-clad roof gave the building its name.
August Strindberg moved into this apartment in 1908 and lived there until his death in 1912, a period when he wrote some of his most important late works. The years mark the final phase of his artistic life in the city.
Strindberg moved into the newly built house in 1908 and called it "Blå tornet" after its copper-clad tower roof, not because the building was painted blue. The three-room apartment is preserved and reconstructed with his own library and belongings, mostly in Jugendstil, so the rooms read as a home rather than an institution.
The museum is open on several days of the week and can be visited with guided tours available upon request, which explain the history and details of the rooms. It is easily accessible by public transportation and located centrally in Stockholm.
The museum houses over 3000 books from Strindberg's personal collection, revealing how deeply he engaged with literature and ideas. His handwritten notes and markings in the volumes offer insight into his creative thinking.
