- Park benches over the years
A piece of history that has often been overlooked and taken for granted in our public parks: the park bench. The outdoor exhibition features ten different park benches that have been used on Royal Djurgården from the 19th century through to the present day. Welcome, and take a seat!
SEE THE EXHIBITION
The bench exhibition can be seen on Royal Djurgården, between Rosendalsvägen (1) and the Hazelius Gate (Hazeliusporten) immediately to the east of King Karl XV's statue.
the outdoor exhibition is on all year round
The Lessebo park bench is one of the oldest and most common in Sweden. This model has been used at various locations on Southern Djurgården. It was first made in the 1840s at Lessebo Mill in Småland. Photos: Henrik Nyström and Stadsmuseet.
