This is a lovely museum with everything completely intact as the owners left it. At times there will be actors, which I imagine really makes the place fantastic. We particularly enjoyed the temporary exhibit on the evolution of undergarments...I can't believe women used to put all that stuff on!

If you're interested in early 20th century cultcure this is must. Really a hidden gem. Much better and far more interesting than any of the castles. Make sure to get a guided tour though; available both in English and Swedish.

I visited the Hallwyl Museum by myself on a Friday afternoon and found it quite enjoyable. I did not take a tour because I speak English and I think that there was no English speaking tour at that time. The museum does provide detailed explanations of each room in a number of languages, so you can do a self guided... More

Go and have a peep of how the really wealthy people used to live in the oldern times in Stockholm. You will find interesting art, china and architectural features.

They exhibited clothes from the Downton Abbey tv series which I enjoy watching. The clothes were incredibly beautiful and detailed. The exhibition compared clothes, traditions, servant numbers...

To see the whole house have to do guided tour! If you are under time constraints, hour and the tour guides drone on. We left after 15 min in the kitchen and that was the first room. I thought it would be interesting but other things S to squeeze in,

Everything is left exactly the way it was when the Von Hallwyls lived there! Great shop and different exhibitions-now they show clothes from downtown Abbey!

This is my favorite museum in Stockholm. I visit a least once a year. The house in itself is beautiful and interesting piece of history (although the extravagance can’t compare to some of the grand English palaces of the time). What makes this worth returning to is collections of Willhelmina von Hallwyll and the excellent exhibitions. Lastly I saw the... More
