Villa Lusthusporten

Villa Lusthusporten
Out strolling at Royal Djurgården. This building is hard to miss. Built for Alfred Brinck in the 1870s. Designed first by Hjalmar Kumlien, and later by Carl Möller. During the General Art and Industrial Exposition of Stockholm in 1897 the villa was used as a police station. Eighty years ago, in 1940, the villa was donated to the Nordic Museum that you can find across the street. It was used by the Institute of Ethnology up until 2015.

For it's age that is one big beautiful building. It seems like the older they get the better they look.
