Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde, originally the home of Prince Eugen (1865-1947), is now among the most-visited art museums in Sweden. The complex consists of a castle-like main building – the Mansion – finished in 1905 and designed by the Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg, and a Gallery Building, added in 1913. The estate also includes the original manor-house building, known as the Old House and an old linseed oil mill, both dating back to the 1780s.

Prince Eugen was one of his generation’s foremost landscape painters and many of his best-known works, including Molnet (the Cloud) and Det gamla slottet (The Old Castle), are part of the collections at Waldemarsudde. He was also an art collector and his collection of Swedish turn-of-the-19th-century art is one of the foremost in the country. In the Mansion the Prince’s Private Apartments remain mostly unchanged, while the two upper floors – with the Prince’s Studio at the top – are used for temporary exhibitions or for exhibiting works by the Prince or from his collections. The Gallery Building is mainly used for temporary exhibitions.

The building was designed by Ferdinand Boberg specifically to house the banker and art patron Ernest Thiel’s magnificent art collection and was completed in 1907. The Thiel Gallery also served as Ernest Thiel's home from 1907 to 1924 and has remained largely unaltered ever since.

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern is one of Northern Europe's largest cultural institutions. The activities include libraries, theatre, debates, art exhibitions, film, dance and music. Located right in Stockholm's political and commercial centre, the house offers a public space for all people in Stockholm.

The glass front of the building facing Sergels torg enhances the idea of a shared common space, and at night create a transparent view into the interior.
