Sigtuna museum

Incorrect historical claim at Sigtuna Museum!!!nDuring my visit to Sigtuna Museum, I saw a book that claims that Yaroslav the Wise is from Russia. This is completely incorrect — Yaroslav came from Kyivska Rus, not Russia. Presenting this as fact is misleading and damages the museum’s credibility.nThe staff mentioned that several people have complained “it’s a shame”, but no corrections have been made. The museum should immediately remove this book and provide the correct historical context.

I was very reluctant to go to the museum but boy was I wrong. The staff are extremely nice. There are scavenger hunts and puzzles for the kids. We also got free entrance on that day national holiday. There were also various activities like calligraphy, painting and more.nThe museum’s collections are also very impressive. It has extremely interesting information about all facets of Swedish history. 10/10 experience.

This museum is a little gem. Last time I visited was 20 years ago and quite boring. Today the museum shows a nice collection of finds from the viking age and through the ages to date. All descriptions are in Swedish and English and many displays use audio to inform visitors.

It a very quite and good place to visit with your family....

A quaint little museum about the history of Sigtuna. It is split into Sigtuna in Viking/medeltid in one wing and Sigtuna in recent histories in the other wing. They also have exhibition about the Jewish girls quarantined in Sigtuna after Holocaust, that will be included in permanent exhibition, which is very interesting. There is a little gift shop and activity areas for children as well. In 2023 price of admission for adults are 60SEK, no student discount but children up to 18 years old can visit for free. For a town whose history was as far back as Sigtuna, this museum is well worth the visit!
