Strindberg Museum

Nestled at Drottninggatan 85 in central Stockholm, the Strindberg Museum is dedicated to the life and enduring legacy of August Strindberg, one of Sweden’s most influential playwrights, novelists, and artists.

The museum is uniquely housed in Strindberg’s final residence, also known as "Blå tornet" (the Blue Tower), where he lived from 1908 until his death in 1912. Visitors are given an intimate glimpse into Strindberg’s personal world; his meticulously preserved apartment showcases original furnishings, manuscripts, letters, and personal belongings, offering an authentic snapshot of early 20th-century life. Beyond its function as a preserved historic home, the Strindberg Museum chronicles Strindberg’s revolutionary contributions to modern drama and literature, noting key works such as "Miss Julie" (1888) and "The Father" (1887). Exhibitions also trace Strindberg’s influential role in the Scandinavian cultural scene and his tumultuous personal life marked by radical social views and artistic experimentation. The museum regularly hosts scholarly seminars, readings, and temporary exhibitions, drawing attention to Strindberg’s ongoing relevance in literary circles worldwide.

Established in 1973, sixty-one years after Strindberg’s death, the museum stands as both a memorial and a cultural hub, preserving the vibrant spirit of one of Sweden’s most groundbreaking figures in the arts.
