Ferdinand Boberg designed this palatial home for banker and patron Ernest Thiel, completed in 1907 at Blockhusudden on Royal Djurgården. The Swedish state bought it in 1926 and opened it as a museum the same year. Thiel's collection of Nordic art around 1900 includes Bruno Liljefors, Ernst Josephson, Carl Larsson, Anders Zorn, Eugène Jansson and August Strindberg, and a glass-roofed Munch Room with the largest Edvard Munch holding outside Norway. A turret room holds Nietzsche's death mask, and the walled park has sculptures by Rodin and Vigeland.
