Stockholm Museums

(Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden)

The museums of Stockholm have long been an important draw card in the city's tourism industry and offer themes such as architecture, biology, dancing, ethnography, medieval history and toys. Stockholm's museums are not just concentrated in the city centre, but are also to be found on the outskirts of the city and within the districts of Djurgarden, Östermalm, Norrmalm, Skeppsholmen and Södermalm, and around the archipelago.

With more than 6,000 musical instruments on display, the captivating Musikmuséet (Stockholm Museum of Music) is worth exploring and was established around 100 years ago. This museum is also home to an important archive of traditional Swedish music from as far back as the 18th century.


Home to a series of exciting displays and scale models documenting the evolution of the planet, the Naturhistoriska Muséet (Natural History Museum) is an excellent attraction for children and can be found within the Greater Stockholm area. Sweden's largest IMAX theatre and an excellent planetarium are just some of the museum's highlights.

Also of interest is the Nobel Prize Museum in Old Town Stockholm (Gamla Stan), where everything from nominations to Einstein's many different theories is showcased. With detailed scale models showing how the city appeared more than 200 years ago, the Stockholmsmuséet (Stockholm City Museum) is often of great interest and also contains a host of Swedish artefacts and treasures from the past.
