The Department of Culture and Aestethics is situated on Frescativägen 22-26, at the campus area Frescati (the main campus of Stockholm University). Since Stockholm University is situated in Djurgården and the Royal National City Park, the Department is surrounded by beautiful nature and unique architecture.

Manne Siegbahn Buildings.

The Manne Siegbahn buildings are three connected buildings with several entrances. This is a guide to the buildings, rooms and lecture halls.

Campus can also easily be reached either by underground (the stop is Universitetet on line 14 to Mörby Centrum), by bus (no. 50 from central Stockholm or no. 540 from north and north-western suburbs), by train (Roslagsbanan) or by car (E4/18, Norrtäljevägen northbound).

From Arlanda Airport it is easiest to take the airport bus to the Central Station, a 30-minute ride, and then take the underground from there.
