Historical Apartments

Svenska

The City Museum’s four historically restored apartments in different parts of the city shows how Stockholmers, rich and poor, have lived in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Our apartments

Our apartments and houses are located in four different neighborhoods and give an insight into the homes and lives of some families from year 1884 to 1969.

The Blockmaker’s House 1917

This is how ordinary people might live in Stockholm at the beginning of the 20th century.

The few nice pieces of furniture and objects you own are placed in the large room. Children are not allowed to play around here! Photo: Francis Bruun.

Barnrikehuset 1937

Good, modern housing for “large families of limited means”.

Kitchens are a cozy gathering point for families, preferably with a lot of plastic and bold color combinations. Photos on the page: Alexander Mahmoud.

Dwelling in Tensta, 1969

The apartment has been restored and designed in ’60s and ’70s style.
