Museum room notesA home becomes a museum
A moment in time,
kept for everyone.
Built between 1893 and 1898 for Wilhelmina and Walther von Hallwyl, the house was designed by Isak Gustaf Clason. Its richly varied historic interiors were created around Wilhelmina’s collections of art and antiques.
The house and its contents were donated to the Swedish nation in 1920. When the museum opened to the public in 1938, a private world became a shared cultural inheritance.
