Gustavsberg Porcelain Museum, design and art museum in Gustavsberg, Sweden
The Gustavsberg Porcelain Museum displays ceramics from the former factory in Gustavsberg that operated from 1825 to 1993. The collection contains over 45,000 objects including household dishes, decorative vases, prototype designs, and sanitaryware such as sinks and toilets.
The factory was founded in 1825 and employed hundreds of workers for over 170 years until it closed in 1993. Production ranged from everyday dishes to artistic designs by notable designers such as Stig Lindberg, Lisa Larson, and Wilhelm Kåge.
The collection reflects everyday Swedish life through dishes and household ceramics that families used for generations. The pieces on display show how porcelain became part of domestic routines and personal taste in homes across the country.
The museum is open Friday to Sunday and is about 20 minutes by bus or car from central Stockholm. Admission fees are affordable, children under 20 enter free, and parking is available nearby.
The collection was donated to the Swedish state by the Swedish Cooperative Union in 2000 and has been managed by the National Museum since then. Approximately 35,000 objects are catalogued online and can be searched by visitors and researchers.
