A really amazing museum! There are several permanent exhibitions and some temporary exhibitions.nnThe exhibitions about Vikings and medieval Sweden were very well done and very informative and interactive. Especially informative was the exhibition of the battle outside the Visby city walls in 1361.nnThe temporary exhibition was about nedieval fashion.nnTook part on a free 30 minute guided tour with a very good guide.nnThe Gold room - exhibition of a excavated gold treasure over 50 kg of gold found in one place - was the most interesting part. Twice a day the lights are dimmed and you can roam the dark room with a flashlight - try not to wake up the dragon guarding the gold!
The experience was rich with fascinating details, especially the medieval period and earlier history. The atmosphere and architecture were inspiring, and the way the stories were presented made the journey through time even more engaging. It was both interesting and thought-provoking, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves history and culture.
The museum has a lot of interesting objects of great historical value, from the prehistoric times until the middle ages. The ones that really impressed me were the small Buddha statue, the mask of Alexander the Great and the reliquary of Saint Elisabeth. The exhibitions on prehistory and the Vikings are very interesting. The exhibition on the history of Sweden could be improved significantly, as all the information is only in Swedish. There are brochures where you can read the information in English, however this is not easy, as there is not enough light to read them and it's also quite cumbersome to pick them up and then back all the time. So basically, the exhibition on the history of Sweden is made for Swedish people and not for foreigners or tourists who want to learn a thing or two about the country where they are. I liked the exhibition on medieval art, however I think the inclusion of the Sápmi exhibition in the same space was a bit disrespectful; the museum could give some more focus on this part of the exhibition, without letting it get lost amid the medieval artifacts. All in all, it's a museum where you will learn a lot of things, but the way in which the objects are assorted is sub-optimal and makes it difficult for visitors even real histroy lovers like me to follow everything.
Amazing museum to get to know Swedish history starting from pre-historic era till modern days. There are many sections with interactive exhibits, like watching a viking house with a VR or explanation of how to save the money best etc. Viking world and money exhibitions are best I think. The stuff was very friendly. I think it's better to get an audioguide, because the Viking World and Money exhibitions have, but the rest doesn't have proper English descriptions, you'll need the booklets to read every time. Overall, I highly recommend to visit it, definitely worth spending time
Excellent museum of Swedish history. The City Card covered the cost of admission.nnWe took in exhibits on gold archaeological artifacts found in the country; on the Vikings; and on the history of Sweden. We spent 3-4 hours, and could easily have doubled that if our feet could have held up.nnExhibits are all very accessible for English speakers or readers, and provide great multi-media information on the given topics.nnThe museum cafe had a good variety of food and drink.nnDefinitely worth a visit when in Stockholm!
