Albert Engström-gården, Working life and writers' museum in Grisslehamn, Sweden.
Albert Engström-gården houses both a working life museum and writers' museum in the former home of Swedish artist and humorist Albert Engström, featuring his preserved studio and living quarters from the early 1900s.
Albert Engström purchased this coastal property in 1902 for approximately 9,000 kronor from the widow of sea captain August Lindström, living here with his wife Sigrid until 1916 when they moved to Stockholm.
The museum is run by the Albert Engström Society, and since 2006 Engström's home has been furnished as it looked around 1910, when he and his wife Sigrid Sparre lived at Augustberg year-round. Visitors walk through the rooms of the house where he spent his summers until his death.
The museum operates from June 21 to August 17 with daily hours from 11:00 to 17:00, offering hourly guided tours of the studio and charging 150 SEK for combined admission.
The museum is the northern terminus of the Roslagsleden hiking trail. The property, called Augustberg, was bought by Albert Engström in 1902 after he had spent two summers as a guest in Grisslehamn.
