Carl Larsson-gården, Artist residence museum in Sundborn, Sweden.
Carl Larsson-gården is an artist residence museum in Sundborn that preserves the home of painter Carl Larsson and his wife Karin. The rooms contain original furnishings, artwork, and décor items that show how the family lived during the late 1800s.
The house was built in 1837 and came to the Larsson family through Karin's father Adolf Bergöö in 1888. Carl and Karin transformed it into a working home where they could create and entertain fellow artists.
The house reveals how an artist and his wife lived and worked together during the late 1800s. You can see the choices they made in decorating each room and the style they created for their home.
Guided tours are available in different languages, with availability varying by season. It is best to check the current opening times and language offerings before your visit.
Eight generations of the Larsson family have managed the property, making it one of the few artist homes still run by direct descendants. This continuous family stewardship keeps the house a living connection to its artistic legacy.
