Nationalmuseum is the national gallery of Sweden, located on the peninsula Blasieholmen, in central Stockholm.
The museum's operations stretch far beyond the borders of Blasieholmen, including the National Portrait gallery collection at Gripshom, the Gustavsbergporclain museum, several castle collections and the Swedish Institute in Paris. In the summer of 2018, Nationalmuseum Jamtli opened in Östersund to exhibit parts of the collection in the north of Sweden.The museum's benefactors include King Gustav III and Carl Gustaf Tessin. It was founded in 1792 as Kungliga Museet. The present building was opened in 1866, when it was renamed the Nationalmuseum, and was among the buildings that hosted the 1866 General Industrial Exposition of Stockholm.
Nationalmuseum is closed for renovation until 2018.
During the renovation you will find temporary high-quality exhibitions at Konstakademien and at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern.
