Olle Olsson Hagalund lived in his house his whole life. Now, his art fills it. Housed at the corner of Spetsgatan and Furugatan in Solna, the museum is municipally owned and privately run. It is dedicated to the artist, his work, and to the old town of Hagalund, which was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the high-rise district of Blåkulla.
Inside, a model of Yttersta Hagalund, which shows the old Hagalund around Olle Olsson-house and was made by Kent Fernström (born 1958), breathes life into the old town once more. The museum serves as an artist's home full of painting for the theatre from 1930s - 1970.
