Sculpture in Nature at Artipelag

Stockholm has many great art museums, both big and small. If you are coming to Stockholm this summer, here is a list of the main art museums and what they will be showing. If art isn't your cup of tea, then there are many wonderful museums focusing on history that shouldn't be missed as well!

• Fotografiska (photography)- several great summer exhibitions including The New Black Vanguard (until Oct 2nd), Somewhere Ethereal (until Aug 21st) and Andy Warhol Photo Factory (until Aug 21st).
• National Museum (classic art & design)- Besides their wonderful permanent collection which always has free admission, they have several temporary exhibitions this summer, like What a Joy to be a Sculptor (until Sep 11th) and Swedish Grace (until Aug 28th).

• Millesgården (sculpture & mixed art)- the main reason people visit Millesgården (at least the first time) is to visit the lovely sculpture gardens featuring the work of Carl Milles. But they also have an indoor venue and this summer they will be exhibiting the art of both Madame d'Ora (until Sep 4th) and Anton Alvarez (May 21st to Sep 25th). 
• Spritmuseum (spirits/adult beverages)- Their current art exhibition is Pierre et Gilles - Troubled Waters (until Sep 8th). Click here to read about my recent visit.

These are the top art museums in the city, but there are many other smaller art museums and galleries in Stockholm... like at the gallery district. Otherwise, if you are staying at the Hotel Rival, stop by and ask us for more options and recommendations.
