About This Place

Junibacken is a beloved children's museum on Djurgården island in Stockholm dedicated to the world of Swedish children's author Astrid Lindgren, creator of Pippi Longstocking, Emil of Lönneberga, and Ronja Rövardotter. Visitors board the Story Train that sweeps through dramatised scenes from the books, then explore a multi-level play world inspired by Villavillekulla — Pippi's house — and other Lindgren settings. The museum also celebrates other Swedish children's authors and features a bookshop, café, and changing temporary exhibitions.
