Strindberg Museum

The Strindberg Museum occupies four rooms on the fourth floor of the Blue Tower at Drottninggatan 85, displaying the original furnishings and layout from when the playwright lived there. The spaces are arranged exactly as he used them during his final years.

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.

The name "Blue Tower" comes from the building's original color, and the rooms feel like a private home rather than a formal institution. Visitors can see how the playwright arranged his working and living spaces.

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.
