Redefining Tullhuset: A Historical Transformation for Sweden's Museum of the

Tullhuset, standing proudly on Blasieholmen, is a historic building with an intriguing history. Distinguished by a higher central section, flanked by two lower wings, it boasts large round-arched windows and iron doors and windows for night security. Inside, you'll find clocks with travel schedules over the doors, offices, and other rooms for staff in the wings. Originally a customs house, its operations ceased in the 1940s, transitioning into an office building. In 2025, the Swedish Museum of the Holocaust, currently residing in temporary quarters, was offered a permanent home in Tullhuset on Blasieholmen. The building will undergo renovation and adaptation to cater to the museum’s needs, with the museum expected to open in Tullhuset by 2029.
