If you're interested in Swedish art, traditions and design you must visit here. Brilliant displays and a free audio guide which really brings the exhibits to life. More

I headed next door to the Nordic Museum after spending a few hours at the excellent Vasa Museum. The building is impressive and the free audio tour is a great addition. The exhibits range from the very interesting (Sami culture, Swedish design throughout history, Swedish holiday traditions) to the skipable (flag exhibit, modern crafts exhibit). I spent about two hours... More

The museum is not too big nor too small. Just had a walk around where I saw the exhibition about the dining set in sweden through the centuries. A bit fancy but interesting. The design and dwelling section was probably the most interesting. The building itself is very nice. Not sure if it's a mansion or more like a castle.... More

The museum is huge, and filled with some very interesting and varied collections. I would imagine that very few people would appreciate all of the exhibits, as they cover a huge spectrum of history, culture and art. However, as a brief but comprehensive look at Sweden and how it's culture fits into that of the world, it's an interesting ride. More

I'm not really a museum person but the Nordiska Museet is a Swedish culture museum and is in a beautiful building a short walk from the city centre, admission is only KR 90.00. It is a pleasant way to spend a few hours and learn about Swedish culture. The exhibits are excellent and the free audio system works great. Don't... More

Lots of historical pieces from the Nordic lifestyle. It takes a couple hours to see everything but pretty cheap for everything you see. Cool if you got a couple days in town More

We could get in for free, because if you go on a Wednesday from 5.00-8.00 pm it's free. Otherwise you have to pay round 90 crowns. Don't get me wrong, the architecture of the building is simply amazing. And it's so big inside. Very nice. Exhibitions change all the time. We saw a lot of exhibitions about furniture, indigenous people,... More

The first attraction we visited was the Nordiska Museet. We arrived muffled up to the eyes as it was below -10 so it was great to avail of the free lockers ( you pay but get your money back) on the lower ground floor and offload our coats etc. Then using the audio guide my husband and I spent about...
