Carl Eldhs Ateljémuseum, Art museum and sculptor's studio in Bellevueparken, Stockholm, Sweden.
Carl Eldhs Ateljémuseum is an artist's studio and museum in Bellevueparken, Stockholm, containing over 1000 plaster models and sketches. The rooms are filled with original sculptures and the tools the artist used during his creative work.
Swedish sculptor Carl Johan Eldh established this studio in 1919, designed by architect Ragnar Östberg as a workspace for monumental sculptures. The building was created during a period when large public monuments were being commissioned in Stockholm.
The museum takes its name from sculptor Carl Eldh, whose studio was left as it was at his death in 1954. The collection includes plaster and clay sketches beside several-metre-high casting patterns, plus a few works in stone and bronze. The garden that Brita Eldh shaped while running the museum was restored in 2017 with support from the County Administrative Board.
The museum is located in a park and can be reached at Lögebodavägen 10, where group reservations are available year-round. During summer months, regular guided tours help visitors understand the artworks and the artist's working methods.
Brita Eldh lived in an apartment added to the studio in the 1960s and ran the museum on her own for several decades. In the early 1990s she had to stop because of her age and failing health; the museum closed for a couple of years and reopened in 1995 under a new board and curator.
