Stockholm ’s great art escape. All about Artipelag Museum. The Artipelag Museum will continue to amaze everyone who visits Stockholm for its fantastic scenery and undisturbed natural environment.

The museum is uniquely constructed on top of Sweden’s largest archipelago, otherwise known as an island chain, to preserve its beautiful landscape. People who visit will feel at peace while being deeply interconnected with nature. The architects for this project are Johan Nyren and Bjorn Jakobson. Jakobson created the museum to create a space that was both an art museum and a wildlife sanctuary. With the help of Nyren, they were able to create a place that epitomizes being one with nature. Nyren used pitch pine planks and a perennial plant-covered roof to cover the entire 32,000 square feet museum so that he can maintain the building’s organic feel and look.
