Prince Eugen (1865–1947), painter and collector, built this mansion to Ferdinand Boberg's design in 1905 and added a gallery in 1913; he left it to the Swedish state and it opened as a museum in 1948. His apartments are preserved much as he left them, and the collection of some 7,000 works, mostly Swedish art from around 1900, includes his own landscapes alongside Zorn, Josephson and Bergh. The gallery stages major temporary exhibitions, and the 70,000 m² park on the water holds sculptures by Rodin, Milles and others.
