Interesting Museum with a lot of Swedish history explained. Don't miss the bottom floor exhibition of the royal carriages .

Cindy England

More than 20 mins. if you actually read/listen to the info. Audio tour is very helpful but not included under the free entrance with the Stockholm card (extra 20:kr).

Alexander Winblad

Nice museum . Cool stuff to look at. Especially like the hip hop clothes of Karl X.

One of the best museums in Stockholm in you like medieval things and royaltys.

A bit dull to be honest. 90 SEK and I was out of there in 20 mins. It is also very dark in here. The temporary exhibition about Queen Kristina was very interesting however.

Don't miss the collection of royal coaches in the basement .

Отличный музей для ознакомления с орудием и одеждой определенных периодов . Небольшая Выставка карет. Бонус-бесплатное посещение
