Arkitekturmuseet


The library opened in 1998 as the first architectural library in Sweden with
an ambition to serve both researchers and non-professionals. The collection contains more than 24 000 books and magazines published in the 20th century to the present. Emphasis is on Swedish architecture with Nordic and international references, mostly in English.

Special collections

Most of the volumes are donations from the bookshelves of Swedish architects, architectural historians and institutions. More than 300 donators have contributed to the library since 1962, when the Swedish architects association, SAR, started the museum.

You can visit the museum by the website:
