ArchitectureArtHistoryClosed · Opens 12pmFrom £150Östermalmstorg (T-bana)

Built 1893–1898 by architect Isak Gustaf Clason for Count Walther and Countess Wilhelmina von Hallwyl, this palace on Hamngatan hid electricity, central heating and telephones behind a historicist facade. Wilhelmina, one of Sweden's great collectors, planned it as a museum from the start and catalogued its roughly 50,000 objects in 78 volumes. Donated to the state in 1920 and opened in 1938, the house remains as the family left it; it is part of the National Historical Museums.
