ArkDes is Sweden’s national centre for architecture and design. It is a museum, a study centre and an arena for debate and discussion about the future of architecture, design and citizenship. The collection currently comprises around four million objects, books, journals, models, photographs and drawings that cover Swedish architecture from the 1850s up to the present day. Around 600 architects are represented within the collection.
