Thielska Gallery is a wonderful art-deco building at the very end of Djurgarden island. My very favourite art gallery in Stockholm.

Out of an extraordinary private collection some of the best examples of Scandinavian paintings from the late 1800s to early 1900s dramatically displayed in a timetypical large Scandinavian mansion. Offers time to admire, reflect, and a delightful coffee break.

Out of the way, this gallery is a must see for those who want to learn a little bit about Scandinavian paintings and, to less extent, sculpture and furniture. The historical house, whose rooms are a little maze like, becomes a beautiful setting for the sometimes somber and dark paintings. It is a pleasure to see Munch in real life.... More

We saw an exhibition here that was not all that pleasing. Otherwise the paintings are of a good standard mostly Scandinavian from late 19th early 20th century, among others quite a few Munch. The place has had a lot of problems with management and the future could be brighter. The queue in the cafeteria was daunting.

A nice historical building but the exhibition area is not very large and the coffee shop is tiny, but nevertheless a nice place to visit.

Made our way here on a very snowy day. It shouldn't have been hard to find the entrance from the bus stop but - - - The museum is in a residential area that is charming. Free with the Stockholm card. Went to see Carl Larsson artworks that are obscure. First of all, the house itself is charming. Some of... More

It is a fascinating house (in most museums I appreciate the architecture as much as the collections) in beautiful surroundings, and very very peaceful - I went just before closing time (1 hr is enough to visit it...) and was almost alone =) I loved having the rooms all to myself, it is much better to enjoy the collections!

Beautiful house and setting although we walked there and it took an hour! Managed to get a bus back but remember to buy your tickets in advance - you can't buy them on the bus. Loved the Munsch room.

Oh, to have had the wealth and ability to amass a collection like this, enage an architect to design your house / gallery for it, find this wonderful location (but maybe not have the divorce and bankruptcy experience of Thiel himslef). The Munch room is stunner. Also don't miss those small rooms at the top for prints, etchings and Neitzche's... More
