Story · Junibacken

  • nl

You're standing at Junibacken, on the island of Djurgården, right in the middle of Stockholm. This isn't your typical museum. It's a place where Swedish children's books come to life, above all the books of Astrid Lindgren. Even the name comes from one of her stories. Have a look around outside the building. There's a bronze statue of Lindgren herself, the woman who gave the world Pippi Longstocking.
