Waldemarsudde, originally the home of Prince Eugen, son of Oscar II (1865-1947), became state-owned after the Prince's death and in accordance with his will. The museum is an attractive museum, still a unknown pearl to many. The exhibitions, house it self, the café and the viewmakes this a favorite in Stockholm.
