Description: The Norwegian Embassy in Stockholm is a piece of Norway in Sweden. The Norwegian architect Knut Knutsen designed the house that was completed on Gärdet in 1952, with a view of the Djurgård Canal and the area where the Stockholm exhibition took place in 1930. With inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright, Japanese palace architecture, and Swedish architects such as Sigurd Lewerentz and Gunnar Asplund, the embassy remains a modernist gem rooted in Norwegian cultural heritage. The architecture, interiors and art are world class and continue to fascinate guests from all over the world

Norges ambassade i Stockholm er et stykke Norge i Sverige. Den norske arkitekten Knut Knutsen tegnet huset som sto ferdig på Gärdet i 1952, med utsikt over Djurgårdskanalen og området der Stockholmsutstillingen fant sted i 1930. Med inspirasjon fra Frank Lloyd Wright, japansk palass-arkitektur, og svenske arkitekter som Sigurd Lewerentz og Gunnar Asplund, forblir ambassaden en modernistisk perle med forankring i norsk kulturarv. Arkitekturen, interiørene og kunsten er i verdensklasse og fortsetter å fascinere gjester fra hele verden
