説明

Gain insight into what life was like for Stockholm’s wealthiest families around the turn of the 20th century and earlier. As you walk through the medieval Old Town of Gamla Stan, the guide will describe how the most affluent merchants and aristocrats lived centuries ago. As you will discover, their grand lifestyles had their share of scandals. A short drive will bring you to the Hallwyl Museum, which was built in the 1890s as the Hallwyl family’s private residence. A docent – dressed as a butler in historical clothing – will lead you through the mansion’s magnificent interior, which had all the modern conveniences for the time. The Hallwyl’s wealth originated with the countess, whose family made their fortune in the timber industry. She was also a great art collector and you will see many of those works along with period furnishings. Few experiences offer such an accurate picture of privileged life years ago.
