Out & About: Liljevalchs+ in Stockholm

Open doors with free entry for everyone Monday 3 June at 11-17. Possibility to see all public spaces in Liljevalchs+. During the day are several short tours held in Swedish by architect Gert Wingårdh. The tours are free of charge but with a limited number of participants, reservations are required.

Liljevalchs+ by Wingårdh Arkitektkontor AB

Liljevalchs+ serves as a complement to an art gallery from 1916, which continues to welcome visitors through its main entrance. The extension faces an other direction. Our addition provides more space for exhibitions, a secondary entrance, a museum shop, and the development of the café.
Liljevalchs art gallery is located on an island close to the city centre in Stockholm. It is the former Royal hunting grounds, and the area consists of museums and amusements. But the context for this building is rather urban than archaic. The addition adapts to the roofline of the old building, but the interior reveals a complex section. The rectangular block contains a split-level plan with floors at six different elevations throughout the building. The volume is cast like a great concrete block. Glass artist Ingegerd Råman, who has been working with us on the project, has decorated the façades with crystal clear bottle bottoms, creating a grid of glass.
