The furniture collection

The museum’s furniture collection is relatively extensive and consists of higher class furniture from the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and neoclassicism. There is also a collection of twentieth century furniture, primarily Swedish and Nordic seating from the latter half of the twentieth century. The furniture collection has mainly Swedish furniture, as well furniture from other areas of Scandinavia, and a small number of pieces from other European countries.
The collection has a good standard for furniture from the 1700s and seating from the latter half of the 1900s, but furniture prior to 1700 is not well-represented; the collection of furniture from the 1800s and early 1900s needs to be expanded.
