    A cool place to see when in Stockholm - the home of Wilhelmina and Walther (Architect also designed the national museum's building) which was given to the state and is now a museum. It hosts several lavish rooms and a picture gallery. Due to covid we had to wait for a short while before entering but it was not very long. Free entry and friendly staff.

    A spectacular museum! A beautiful mansion. A must see when in Stockholm. We were surprised it wasn’t better known on the tourist circuit. You have the place almost to yourself. It’s just stunning, full of amazing detail and old world charm. A beautiful home available to visit. We didn’t eat there, but the restaurant in the courtyard has a great atmosphere. I would eat there next time I visit.

    Such a beautiful house. All the furniture and the accessories are the original ones. Like stepping back in time. Free to roam on your own. They have some guided tours but I was not in time for the English one. Definitely if in Stockholm to pay a visit

    A beautiful home to visit, located in central Stockholm. It is better to join their guide tour to know more details.

  • 4/5 Ronnie E. 5 months ago on Google • 254 reviews
    Interesting, little “dark”, and you could probably benefit from a guided tour (for an extra fee), and take your time, read the information sheets that are available in every room. A lot to see.

  • 5/5 Tyyni R. 1 year ago on Google • 18 reviews
    A beautiful mansion located in the heart of Stockholm! Great museum - an absolute must see for everyone when in Stockholm. If you know Swedish, I would recommend taking an excursion: it is really worth it. History and art tied together make an interesting combo. Many magnificent and famous art pieces to see, as well as beautiful furniture pieces. Easy to visit with kids.

    Lovely place where you get to experience the past and build your own present. The Lego exebition was a lot of fun combining builds that took years and those who took minutes.

    This is a beautiful "House", I was very much surprised by the extensive private collection which include paintings, porcelains as well as the original furniture etc. Above this, the careful attention to detail in the manner of displaying the collection is remarkable, way better than in some museums..I loved that the workers around the house would wear period clothes to match the atmospherem , feel free to ask them questions, as they are very knowledgeable. The entrance is free so I can't recommend the visit enough. I would also recommen the tours they offered, we didnt had enough time but will definitely do if I ever find myself back in Stockholm.

    For those people who loves authentic medieval collection of the house to collections of different artifacts. This place is to be! I really love just walking around different rooms and the collections which they have gathered including weapons and portraits. I can't even believe it's free museum.

    The museum is full of collections that one could easily spend a day in it. However, due to the limited space, it’s not easy to move around especially when there are tours or groups blocking the entrances.

    Excellent museum! This home was built in five years. The carpenter detailed woodwork is gorgeous. It is filled with fine artwork as well as a gun collection and sword collection. There are many collectable items including China. You can't beat the price of entry, it is free!

    Impressive mansion turned museum in the middle of the city. The entrance is very unassuming and I think this is one of a hidden gem even as a local as it is easy to think of this as some rich person’s house that can be shallow. In fact I think the Hallwyl family has to be recognized for their vision to curate their house as a museum and later on donating the property and everything in it to the country. During the visit, unfortunately the art gallery floor was not available (they said not all floors are available and they don’t have a schedule). I highly recommend to purchase the audio guide during your visit as it adds so much depth to the story. I am definitely coming back multiple times to see the areas not available including the art gallery and it looks like they also open the cellar for special events and the courtyard only opens seasonally in the summer.

    It's a fascinating place, well worth a visit. However, I think that there were too many visitors allowed for the tour since the rooms sometimes are small so there is difficult to get a good view with a lot of people "in the way" of the view

  • 5/5 Claire L. 1 year ago on Google • 29 reviews
    What a gem in the heart of Stockholm. The place is so well maintained, you almost feel you can just move in. 😊 It's a nice way to see how European noble's life was at early 1900. There's no entrance fee.

    Absolutely astonishing museum showcasing perfectly how the family has lived their marvelous lives a circa 100 years ago.

  • 5/5 Victor J. 8 months ago on Google
    A cozy and nice experience to have. I will defenetly visit this again

  • 5/5 Penky P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice museum even if it's not very big. The permanent exhibition has some very high ceiling rooms that are well laid out with old paraphernalia. Fine selection of old weaponry, such as old swords, guns, armour etc. We saw a Lego exhibition when we were there with some very cool models and some tables set up for free LEGO play. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Stefan F. 10 months ago on Google
    Ich empfehle die Hallwyls, zumal der Eintritt günstig ist. Selten so viel Porzellan gesehen, wenn man nicht Porzellansammler ist. Das Haus ist hübsch

  • 5/5 Soren T. 5 months ago on Google
    Very nicely presented rich dudes home built 100+ years ago in central Stockholm. You can see some parts on your own but most of it is only accessible if you get the guided tour. If you've been to Filoli in the San Francisco area this is in the same spirit but without the garden.

  • 5/5 ivan_sudy (. 1 month ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    By far one of the best things to see and experience in Stockholm. Worth the time and money. You will be amazed what did one family accomplished with theirs insane collection. Must see! And pay a lot attention to details.

  • 5/5 Alina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow museum! I enjoyed and felt like a royal person inside.

  • 4/5 Hannah K. 9 months ago on Google
    Stunningly beautiful. A little small, we were in and out in 30 mins. Would be worth it to take the tour and see more rooms!

  • 5/5 Jason K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great free museum of what it was like in years past for the rich in Sweden

  • 4/5 Lars M. 2 years ago on Google
    It's for free which is obviously really nice. You can see a lot of things inside but in my opinion the information is kind of missing here. But still a lot of cool things to see.

  • 5/5 Tina M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing! It is situated in central Stockholm and has really good staff walking about in the museum. Very interesting perspective in the wealthy lived in Stockholm at that time. If you are interested in antique furniture and baroque styles, come visit this place. Well worth your time. Oh, don't miss the informational document that you will find by the entrance of each room. I missed the it in the beginning and thought the information was not available, but it is and it sheds light to each particular room. We did the self tour. Free!

  • 5/5 Alexandra K. 2 years ago on Google
    Worth visiting for those who like the atmosphere of 19 century luxury houses. Interesting facts are described in the information brochures for every room

  • 5/5 Juljan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing free museum. It's only 100 years old, but the 17-18th century style that they opted for is omnipresent and a marvel to look at. There are lockers for your jackets and bags (as in most of the Swedish museums). Definitely worth a stop!

  • 4/5 Patrick H. 2 years ago on Google
    A good place to visit, free entrance but the special exhibit costs money.

  • 5/5 Faie E. 3 years ago on Google
    A must go. The guide was great, could answer all questions that was asked. Even the guards shared their knowledge about statues :) it was a lovely experience. The guided tour was worth the 90 sek.

  • 4/5 Marjorie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful museum, can be visited in one hour or so. Free entrance and, at the moment, booking is needed. Even without joining a guided tour, it is possible to get a lot of information with the little guide available upstairs - you'll find them on a pile to the right of the dining room.
