Waldemarsudde

Prince Eugene's Waldemarsudde (Swedish: Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde) is a museum located on Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. It was formerly the home of Prince Eugen (1865-1947), a Swedish prince, painter and art collector. The museum houses Prince Eugen's extensive art collection, which includes approximately 7,000 works, primarily Swedish paintings but also sculptures, drawings, graphics, and medals. After Prince Eugen's death in 1947, the estate was bequeathed to the Swedish state and opened to the public as a museum in 1948. The museum complex consists of a main building called the Mansion, completed in 1905, and a Gallery Building added in 1913, both designed by architect Ferdinand Boberg. The estate also includes an original manor house from the 1780s known as the Old House and a historic linseed oil mill.
