Nordic Musuem

Royal Apartments and Royal Treasury

Changing of the Guard

Why not try the National Museum of Art (National Museet)

 

It doesnt have a huge collection, but still plenty to see with a selection from 1900 - 1970 (with the usual attractions pf Matisse, Warhol etc to keep you entertained). The building itself is a really pleasant space with lots of seating areas and some huge picture windows in the galleries looking out at Stockholm. It's free to visit, and the place was quite busy on my Sunday visit - it seems that it is THE place for a weekend outing for young families. Very good espresso bar right by the entrance and a busy retaurant. Excellent shop

 

Hvae fun on your trip:)

The National Museum is an excellent choice for art lovers or those that may have been here before and want to see something different. However, it is not free to visit. Admission prices are SEK 100 for adults and SEK 80 for students, seniors and groups of 15 or more.

We did the Vasa and the Royal Armoury -- do not skip the exhibition of royal carriages on the lower level. We also did the Chokladfabriken which was an easy bus ride from the Royal Armoury:
