During Open House Stockholm the general public will be invited to go on free guided tours of ArkDes’ buildings.
6 October: ArkDes Museum Building
The building comprises Fredrik Blom’s military training facilities which have been supplemented with premises for offices, archives and personnel. The extension has been designed by Rafael Moneo who has worked with the relation between the building and its surroundings in an attractive way and with respect and knowledge regarding the various needs of the users of the building. The original decor in ArkDes was done by Sandell Sandberg and over time it has been supplemented by Koncept Stockholm, among others. The guided tour will take you round the building where you will be able to discover the different qualities of the architecture.
The general public are invited to Ralph Erskine’s Lådan on Lovön. Ralph and Ruth Erskine’s first home in Sweden is a 20-square-metre house full of ingenious designs. The house, known as Lådan (The box) was moved to Lovön island in 1989 and is now open to the public.
Finding Lådan: Bus 323 from Brommaplan to Rörby gård. Follow signs to Lådan from there.
Due to the situation with the new coronavirus, ArkDes has decided to temporarily close. Moderna Museet and ArkDes, who share facilities in Stockholm, will be closed starting March 19 and will remain closed through April 14.
