The building is known as Kronobageriet, and is the oldest industrial building in Stockholm. Over the centuries it has functioned (amongst other things) as a bakery, an arsenal, as well as a vault for ‘brännvin’ (light Swedish vodka).

This state-owned, historic building has now been completely renovated, with great care, in preparation for an accessible, modern museum. Extending over three floors, encompassing exhibitions, a studio, a shop and a large auditorium, together with space for workshops, as well as a restaurant.
