The most eccentric of Stockholm's museums in a turn-of-the-20th-century residence of great splendor displaying the collection of Countess Wilhelmina von Hallwyl. She spent nearly three-quarters of a century collecting different ‘things’. She carefully cataloged them and left them to the state upon her death. The catalog of this passionate collector came to 78 volumes, so you can imagine the amount of decorative art on display. Open to the public since 1938, the collection includes priceless paintings, rare tapestries, silver, armor, weapons, antique musical instruments, glassware, even umbrellas and buttons (but only the finest ones). On the tour, you learn historical tidbits. This house had a modern bathroom even before the royal palace. Evening concerts are presented in the central courtyard in summer time.
