This is one of the best museums I've ever been to. Great collection of Rembrandt's and the audio tour is well worth it. More

I always prefer to visit the places where people do not go. I had the rest of Nationalmuseum all by myself, the old Swedish design, furniture, anitque and paintings.

While the prices weren't outrageous, 100 SEK for students/seniors and 120 SEK for adults compared to the 50-60 SEK I paid in other museums seemed worth noting.

A must see stop if you are in Stockholm. Just beware that you cannot go through the museum with a backpack on. You must leave it in the lockers. More
