I made two visits to National Museum at Stockholm and would happily make two thousand more. As i had been expecting, I enjoyed their excellent collection of French paintings from the 18th century as well their works of art from Sweden. This Goya, though, was a delightful and stirring surprise.

🧵 7/21 I walked for about an hour from the Vasa museum through the island park of Djurgården to the Thiel Gallery: https://www.thielskagalleriet.se/en/ I cannot recommend a visit to this gallery too highly. Both architecture and the collection of pictures within come together to impress the visitor with a wealthy and informed couple's taste at the dawn of the modern. I enjoyed a 3:00 PM coffee and cardamom bun there too! #Sweden #Stockholm #Art #ThielGallery #ThielskaGalleriet #20thCentury #Fika
