The Gustavsberg Collection encompasses over 45,000 objects and belongs to all of us. It was donated to the Swedish state in 2000 by the porcelain factory's previous owner, KF, and has been managed by Nationalmuseum ever since. The museum's exhibition delves into the Gustavsberg Collection, presenting new discoveries and perennial favourites alike.

The exhibition recounts the history of the Gustavsberg porcelain factory, which spans more than 170 years. It dives into the objects that were made at the factory and the people behind it, as well as the role that the factory came to play in Swedish society.

To this day, many Swedes have a personal relationship with products from the Gustavsberg factory. Approximately 2,000 objects are thematically presented against colourful backdrops. Visitors get to experience everything from studio-created objets d’art and splendid urns to well-known porcelain services and older sanitaryware, as well as enamel and plastic objects.
