Really nice museum . Some exhibitions like medieval battle room have impressive atmosphere. And of course, attractions for kids. Not many, but after visit here my 4 yo asked a bow for the Christmas :D

Dalton Boatman

A wonderful collection of Swedish artefacts through the ages. Give yourself a few hours to truly enjoy everything. Free entry on national day!

Olaf Doorentz

Very good museum with a lot of Swedish history to discover! Very good audio guides and many fascinating pieces from the nordic history from each epoch.

This Museum of National Antiquities has impressive collections from as early as the Stone Age and lots of great Viking historical items. Don't miss the Gold Room and the amazing Textile Chamber.

David Baldie

Audio guide is inexpensive and you can use your own mobile phone which is nice. They don't accept Amex though

Tiefebrunen

Just love this museum , everytime I was in stockholm I will visit there.

Stefan Didrik

Focus is mainly on vikings and medival history. You'll find some of the worlds most famous vikinga treasures and findings here.

Flash Sheridan

Little sign of remorse for the slaughtered Englishmen, destroyed monasteries , or burnt manuscripts. If you drill down on the electronic displays, you can find some actual information.

Marc Tunguz

Very interesting museum . You will learn a lot about Swedish history . The Viking part is remarkable.

Dian Zhang

good place for a lunch ,or cafe ,food was not bad and pretty Scandinavianish,and the enviroment was quite good.the price is relativly low,too

Xavier Campenon

Free entrance! One of the weirdest museum I've visited, but nicely weird. Good vikings exposition .

Björn Hellström

Nice exhibition about the Life of Vikings, they say it’s the biggest in the world.

Daniel Delgado

Quite big museum where you can learn about Swedish history and their advances over time. The vikings area is pretty weak though

Flash Sheridan

The printed captions in The Viking World are largely editorials on how evil the (fairly normal) Nordic class system was.

Phuong Minh

Love it here!!! Also, its free. Totally worth it.

Sorina Chirita

Lots of interesting information! Take at least one hour to read and understand everything!

Bogdan D.

Francesc Zacarias

Kevin Bacon

Excellent museum , with clever and playful interpretation. Really good for kids too.

Annemiek Jonker

Free audiotour on your smartphone. Just make sure you start at the right point of the Viking exposition .

Bianca Padilla

So much fun at the outdoor exhibit with Viking games, cooking, and crafts!

Patrick Stegmann

The audioguide app often does not match up the exhibit . Get the museum one or learn Swedish.

Flash Sheridan

Remarkably bad explanatory text — sociological screeds without giving even the dates of the artifacts , nor telling which are replicas and which original.

eric bornemann

Interesting and certainly worth a stop but a but jumbled from a curatorial POV.

Oleksandra Kalm

Free and with a big collection!

Historiska museet

At Historiska the restaurant , Rosengården (The Rose Garden ), serves their own, very special, red and white "ecowine" from the north of Spain.

Martin Sjöbeck

One must know ones past to understand the present. This place is full of history

Die Ausstellung "Swedish History" erklärt anhand einer Timeline die wichtigsten Eckpunkte der schwedischen Geschichte von 1000 AD bis heute. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Max Pötter

Schöne Reise durch die Geschichte Schwedens. Jetzt wissen wir wessen Statuen in der Innenstadt stehen! ????

Top Museum . Sehr gute Ausstellungen und Präsentation. Kinderfreundlich noch dazu.

Jasmin

Bayıldım. Çok düzenli güzel kurulmuş katlar boyunca sergi . Ortaçağ ve viking bölümü çok gerçekçi

Oleg Bi

Приятный музей , очень свежий, все можно трогать, много фильмов

Elena Ammosova

В ресторане можно поесть за 100 крон , что редкость. Исполнение блюда из семги необычное. Семга подкопченая и почему то холодная, еще я не люблю редьку а её там было много.

????VeronicaVe????

Bellissima la parte sui vikinghi! Da non perdere la camera d'oro, piena di reperti preziosi

Antoine Efe

Musée gratuit, guide audio en français pour 2€, je recommande fortement !
