How to visit Artipelag, Stockholm

Visiting Stockholm and wanting to see this beautiful gallery set in the beautiful Stockholm archipelago. Stay for a leisurely lunch and stroll...

This new art hall sits amid 54 acres of fields and forests of the archipelago and it can be reached by a 20 min bus ride from the city centre or by ferry on the weekend (a bit like visiting MONA in Hobart).

And be sure to stroll along the wooden paths on the water's edge near the gallery, enjoy a lunch at the restaurants and enjoy the design of Artipelag, the late architect Johan Nyrén’s last and possibly finest creation.
