Nestled in a stunning heathland landscape overlooking the Baltic Sea lies Dag Hammarskjöld’s Backåkra. Backåkra is a museum dedicated to the life of Dag Hammarskjöld and a meeting place focusing on peace, culture, and nature.
The museum is housed in the idyllic farmstead that was intended to be Dag Hammarskjöld’s home following his tenure at the United Nations. Today, it showcases his furniture and art collection from his New York apartment, alongside exhibitions illuminating his life, diplomatic career, and legacy.
New exhibition: “In the Service of Humanity” – spotlighting Folke Bernadotte, Dag Hammarskjöld, and Raoul Wallenberg. In addition, visitors can enjoy the art exhibitions “Barbara Hepworth – Sculptor and Friend” and “Bo Beskow – From Österlen to New York”.
