Institut Tessin, Swedish cultural center in Marais, Paris, France
The Institut Tessin occupies the Hotel de Marle, a 16th-century mansion at 11 rue Payenne, featuring 600 paintings and 5000 artworks on paper.
Art historian Gunnar W Lundberg established this Franco-Swedish museum in 1971 to display the Ticino Collection in the restored Hotel de Marle.
The collection includes works by Swedish painters Gustaf Lundberg, Alexander Roslin, and Adolf Ulrik Wertmuller, representing three centuries of artistic exchanges.
Visitors can access the museum via Metro stations Chemin Vert on Line 8 or Saint-Paul on Line 1, with free admission Tuesday through Sunday.
The permanent collection resides in the Queen Kristina Room, maintaining the only Swedish cultural center established outside of Sweden's borders.
