Waldemarsudde, Art museum on Djurgården peninsula, Sweden.
Waldemarsudde is a white residential building with a garden on a peninsula in Stockholm, designed by architect Ferdinand Boberg. The building houses about 7,000 artworks spread across multiple floors, with sculptures also displayed in the outdoor grounds.
The building was completed in 1905 and initially served as a private residence for a member of the royal family. It was later converted into a public museum that preserves Swedish and Nordic artistic traditions.
The place takes its name from the prince who lived here and built the art collection. Visitors can see how the rooms still reflect his personal interests, with Nordic artists displayed alongside international works.
The site is located on the Djurgarden peninsula and can be reached by public transit or on foot from central Stockholm. Plan for comfortable walking shoes since visiting involves paths through the garden and between different exhibition areas.
The garden layout was designed following specific instructions from the prince and changes its flower beds seasonally. This carefully maintained planting follows a rhythm that remains faithful to the original design plan, showing visitors how gardens of that era were cultivated.
