Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde

Built as the home of Prince Eugen (1865–1947), Waldemarsudde is now one of Sweden’s most popular art museums. Prince Eugen was one of the finest landscape painters of his time, and a renowned art collector, who focused on Swedish, Nordic and French art. The Museum consists of the palatial Mansion from 1903–05 and the Gallery Building from 1913, both of which were designed by the famous architect Ferdinand Boberg. The Mansion houses the Public Apartments, preserved in their original form. These rooms are open to the public all year round, showing a selection of Prince Eugen’s own works, works from the Collections and also temporary exhibitions. The restaurant Prinsens kök, where the Prince’s food was once prepared, is now a restaurant and café. The park contains a number of sculptures by French and Swedish artists, such as Auguste Rodin, Antoine Bourdelle and Carl Milles, as well as copies of Roman and Greek sculptures, including one of Nike of Samothrace, cast after the original in the Louvre.
