Stockholm - Waldemarsudde

At the south end of Djurgården in Stockholm extends the promontory of Waldemarsudde, on which Prince Eugen (1865-1947), son of Oscar II, built himself a house. Himself a painter, he gathered round him a large circle of artists and writers. Visitors can see his studio and a collection of pictures, including both his own work and works by other Swedish artists of his day. In the Villa Thiel, at the east end of Djurgården, is another collection of pictures, mostly by 19th and 20th century Swedish artists.
