Gallery Stockholm, Sweden

Thielska Galleriet is an art museum in Djurgården park in Stockholm, Sweden. The museum was originally the private residence and art gallery of banker and collector Ernest Thiel (1859-1947) who bought art made by his contemporaries including Scandinavian artists, such as Bruno Liljefors, Anders Zorn, Eugène Jansson and Edvard Munch . The house, built in 1904-1907, was designed by the architect Ferdinand Boberg. By 1922, Thiel had lost his fortune, the gallery was bought by the state in 1924 and opened to the public in 1926
