Create an itinerary including Liljevalchs Konsthall
Liljevalchs konsthall (Swedish for "Liljevalch's Art Gallery") is an art gallery located on the Djurgården island in Stockholm, Sweden. Designed by architect Carl Bergsten (1879–1935) and inaugurated in March 1916, it is today owned by the City of Stockholm.

Behind the entrance on the north-western corner is a small vestibule. To the right of the latter is a large sculpture hall leading to two large galleries with skylights intended for paintings, flanked by series of smaller exhibition spaces. The eastern end of the building has a large-scale portico facing a small park surrounded by the large windows of a small restaurant.

One of the most appreciated exhibition spaces in Sweden, Liljevalch is renowned for its well-proportioned spaces in a range of sizes and its restaurant Blå porten ("Blue Gate"). The concrete pillars and beams forming the structural framework of the building are left exposed as pilasters and mouldings in the façade with brick walls and a horizontal row of windows filling the spaces between them. In front of and above the main entrance is a sculpture and a relief by Carl Milles.

  • The existing art gallery/ museum from 1916 got a new addition by Wingårdh in 2021. Often containing modern local artists it's a nice change to classical art museums. Interesting spaces that give the art it's needed space and background. Free entry on Mondays, and a very nice Café right next to it.
  • The Nobel Exhibit at Liljevalchs, the Evigt Liv, is so worth it. I enjoyed every bit of it. It was very informative and I learned a lot. It was very inspiring to see the contributions of people to make our lives here on Earth worthwhile. The ticket is worth it and currently you can get in for the Price of two (Nobel Museum plus this one).
