National Museum

Visiting Stockholm for the first time, there were so many museums to choose from. Bring an art lover we opted out for the National Museum. A superb collection of variety of artworks and art pieces from different time periods. Would highly recommend, and would say it’s well worth the visit. Graciously photos were allowed to be taken in the exhibition area of the art.

Absolutely worth a visit. The Musuem has mixed art including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, metal, apparel, every day items, music, tapestry, etc. It is displayed as periods of time and is very interesting to see how art developed and changed over time. For a quick walk through, estimate 2 hours but if you want to see everything properly, then it can easily take 5 hours. The restaurant has delicious fare and is set in a garden inside and is a lovely place for a bite or lunch. There are ample washrooms and free lockers for bags and coats. You cannot keep your luggage though.

We really enjoyed our visit here the exhibits were nice and we especially liked the sculpture garden on the main floor. We did find that some of the works could have used a longer description than just the dates. The building is also stunning so look up at the ceiling so you don't miss out on the murals. The only washrooms are in the basement so that's a bit inconvenient.

The National Museum in Sweden is worth the visit. They don't allow backpacks, so after buying the ticket, simply go to the basement floor to store your backpack, it is free. Don't make my mistake of holding my backpack in my hands throughout the visit! The museum has a great selection of paintings and sculptures. I especially loved the exhibition where they showed the home interiors of different periods in Sweden.

National Museum is definitely worth a visit. Not only for the extensive art from Medieval to Modern but also the excellent architecture. The ground floor courtyards are particularly impressive with roof skylights.
