Famous islands in the Archipelago
The silence of the beautiful Stockholm Archipelago attracts many people every year. Artists of all kind has also been drawn to the more remote islands - there are some 30 000 islands to choose from - and the islands have inspired the authors, painters, poets and musicians during all times. The Swedish childbook author Astrid Lindgren used Norröra and Söderöra island in the archipelago to illustrate the book Seacrow Island about a father with his four children in a rented summer house on the island. The Norröra island is still as genuine and private as it seems in the film. Bullerö was owned by the Swedish nature painter Bruno Liljefors. You can visit his old hunting cabin and studio. Kymmendö was the island where the Author August Strindberg sought inspiration for "People of Hemsö", a vigorous tale about the Stockholm skerries. His writers cabin can be seen on the island. Runmarö is the choice of the Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer and Utö Island the place where the writer Gustaf Fröding spent his summers. Former ABBA.member Björn Ulvaeus has his summer house on the island Viggsö.
