Hallwyl Museum

Hallwyl Museum is a Swedish national museum housed in the historical Hallwyl House in central Stockholm. The house was built between 1893 and 1898 by Isak Gustaf Clason for Count Walther von Hallwyl and his wife, Wilhelmina, and was designed to accommodate their personal needs and vast art collections. Although the exterior of the building features elements borrowed from medieval prototypes and Renaissance Venice, the building was modern on its completion.

It included electricity, central heating, telephones, bathrooms, and even an elevator. The Count and Countess lived there during the winter, but the palace was donated to the Swedish state in 1920. The museum, including many of the rooms where they used to live, opened to the public in 1938. Today, the museum remains preserved just as it was when Countess von Hallwyl donated the house. The Hallwyl Collection, with over 50,000 objects, has been carefully displayed for visitors to explore, offering a glimpse into the grand lifestyles of the European nobility during the late Victorian era.
