Astrid Lindgren Museum

Astrid Lindgren Museum, Literary museum in Vimmerby, Sweden

Astrid Lindgrens Näs is a cultural centre in Vimmerby made up of three buildings: the house where Astrid Lindgren was born, the old rectory now used as a knowledge centre, and a pavilion opened in 2007. The ground floor of the childhood home is preserved as it looked when she was a girl, and the rectory garden holds the elm that inspired Pippi Longstocking's sugar-drink tree.

Astrid Lindgrens Näs opened to the public in November 1998, centred on the childhood home where the author was born and grew up. The old rectory was converted into a knowledge centre with a library for research on her writing. The pavilion was inaugurated on 12 June 2007 by Crown Princess Victoria, and in 2014 the entrance hall and surrounding grounds were rebuilt by Tovatt Architects & Planners.

The garden of the old rectory holds the elm that served as the model for Pippi Longstocking's sugar-drink tree, and on the centenary of Lindgren's birth in 2007 the sculpture Källa Astrid by Berit Lindfeldt was unveiled there. Since 2019 Astrid Lindgrens Näs has been one of the venues of the literature festival Vimmerby berättar.

Astrid Lindgrens Näs opened to the public in November 1998. Guided tours of the childhood home have been offered since summer 2007; the ground floor is preserved as it looked when Lindgren was a girl. The entrance area and surrounding landscape were rebuilt in 2014 to designs by Tovatt Architects & Planners.

The museum is located at the author's birthplace, which gives the visit a special personal connection to her life. This place was crucial to her development as a writer and to the creation of her most celebrated works.
