Biologiska Museet is a museum located in Djurgården in Stockholm. It exhibits a collection of stuffed European birds and mammals in dioramas. These displays show Scandinavian mammals and birds in their natural, ecological habitats.
The museum was built in 1893 following a design by architect Agi Lindegren. Lindegren was inspired by medieval Norwegian stave churches for the building's architecture.
Some of the diorama backgrounds were created by artist Bruno Liljefors, who is known for his dramatic paintings of Scandinavian wildlife.
