Oscars Church (Oscarskyrkan) is a heritage-listed church in Stockholm that opened in 1903. The parish website lists a photo exhibition there, “Genom bilden - mot stillheten,” about Dag Hammarskjöld. It gives daily viewing hours of 10:00 to 17:00, except when services or concerts are taking place.

The exhibition consists of photographs of Hammarskjöld. The parish links the display to his spiritual legacy of peace and reconciliation. It describes him as one of the 20th century’s most influential Swedes and quotes Caroline Hammarskjöld, identified as the granddaughter of Dag’s brother Sten, saying his human side and vulnerability matter. The exhibition’s focus is therefore Hammarskjöld’s photographs and spiritual legacy, alongside the church setting. Plan to arrive within the stated daytime window, but keep in mind that ceremonies or concerts can interrupt viewing. The listed hours do not guarantee access at every moment in that interval.
