Stockholm's best museums

ABBA The Museum is an incredibly interactive museum that’ll keep you busy for hours. Singing, playing quizzes, standing on stage with avatar versions of the band, mixing original music, and seeing how you look in their old stage costumes are just a few examples. The restaurant adjacent to the museum serves top-class food. And don’t miss the audio guides (available in over ten different languages) where you can listen to the band members’ personal stories and memories from their careers. Thank you for the music, ABBA – and thank you ABBA The Museum for an unforgettable museum experience. Walk in, dance out, as they describe it.

The Nobel Prize Museum, which you’ll find in the beautiful Börshuset on the square Stortorget in Old Town, is an inspiring museum in Stockholm dedicated to the ideas that have made the world a better place. Here you get to meet and be inspired by Nobel laureates from the present and the past – freedom fighters, writers, and scientists. Primarily, the Nobel Prize Museum isn’t a museum about Alfred Nobel or the prize itself, but about the big ideas and the creative brains behind them (but, of course, there’s also an exhibition about Alfred Nobel himself).

Since the Nobel Prize is known worldwide, the Nobel Prize Museum is a popular attraction in Stockholm and has a given place on many people’s to-do lists in Stockholm. Of course, a large part of the visitors are tourists, but many Stockholmers also come here. And there’s a lot to see and do for all ages, it’s not only adults hungry for knowledge who like it here, but it is also a great museum for children. The playful Bubble Chamber and an experimental workshop are two popular children’s activities. The museum offers a solid program with lectures, talks, tours, events, and workshops. In addition, you can go to after work and concerts. A visit to the renowned and popular Bistro Nobel restaurant is also recommended if you want to have lunch or coffee after your visit.

ViewStockholm recommends the tasting tray that you can buy in the bar, including three snaps and one punch. Our second favorite feature is the hangover room. We dare you to try it. And don’t forget to check out the Absolut Art gallery!

Vikingaliv (Viking Museum) opened in 2017 with an impressive exhibition of the archaeology and history of the Viking era. The interactive exhibits include skeletons, weapons, dioramas, and exciting tales for the children on an 11-minute journey through time in Ragnfrid’s Saga.

At Paradox Museum Stockholm, you’ll learn all about the exciting science behind paradoxes. In addition, you’re guaranteed to have great fun, and those who like to take spectacular pictures for social media have a hard-to-beat photo environment. Take the chance to gain new perspectives, experience things that defy what’s real, and expect to question your own experiences both once and twice. Entertaining education and unique memories are promised! And before you leave – don’t miss the paradoxically inspired museum shop with a large selection of games, clothes, souvenirs, accessories, and other fun things.
