Museum of August Strindberg, dedicated to the life and works of the Swedish writer, situated in the last apartment, where he lived (in all he changed 24 homes) in the house called "The Blue Tower" (Drottninggatan 85) at the corner of Drottninggatan and Tegnergatan near Norrmalm. The museum was opened in 1973 and belongs to the Company Strindberg.

Strindberg moved into the house in 1908 and lived there until his death in 1912. The house was built in 1907 and had all the necessary modern conveniences: central heating, lift, drain. However, in the apartment of the writer did not have a kitchen, and since he had rented their homes at the family hotel Faulkner food he brought from there. When the hotel closed, Strindberg was forced to order food at a nearby restaurant. The museum consists of apartments and the library of the writer, as well as areas for temporary exhibitions. Wallpapers and other decorations were reconstructed in accordance with how the apartment looked at a time when Strindberg lived there, but the furniture and other interior parts are original.

The foyer of his apartment Strindberg pasted cheap printed wallpaper with romantic motifs. The picture, painted in watercolor, is a copy of the picture Oscar Bjork, which hangs in the lobby of the Royal Dramatic Theatre. Strindberg furnished his apartment as decoration of their own plays. For example, the dining room colors - a bright yellow, green and red colors. There are two small bust of Goethe and Schiller, and on the piano hangs a mask of Beethoven, his favorite composer. Above the sofa hangs a photo of his daughter Anne-Marie.

When Strindberg just moved to the Blue Tower, the apartment was no room for his large library, and he passed his books in a pawnshop. In 1909, Strindberg began to take a studio apartment, which he furnished in the style of high modernism. A year later he bought his library from a pawnshop and carried her into the room. Library Strindberg - is primarily a research library containing 6,800 books on the history, language, astronomy, chemistry and other sciences, as well as work on the works of Shakespeare, Goethe, Swedenborg, and Balzac.

On the diamond jubilee (22 January 1909), and then again, in his sixty-third birthday in 1912, Strindberg was honored with a large torchlight procession of fans of his work. In a letter to his friend Richard Berg, Strindberg wrote that due to illness he will not be able to personally greet the crowd, instead he put the beautiful red electric lamp so that the crowd could see his balcony. However, during the celebration of Strindberg she appeared with her daughter Anne-Marie on the balcony to loud applause from the crowd.

August Strindberg died in his bed after a long illness May 14, 1912.
