Nordiska Museet (The Nordic Museum) opened its doors in 1873 and was founded by Artur Hazelius. Hazelius had a vision of creating a museum that preserved old items for future generations. Today, Nordiska Museet is Sweden’s largest cultural history museum and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. You’ll learn about the Nordic lifestyle and the traditions that have existed since the 16th century onwards.

The museum is located in beautiful Djurgården and is known for being one of Stockholm’s most elegant buildings. The interior with detailed objects is also an experience in itself.

Every year, tourists and visitors of all ages from all over the world visit this popular attraction. Nordiska Museet is also a favorite among Stockholmers of all generations who want to get to know their history. The museum offers a comprehensive and varied range of exhibitions – from the past times’ fashion to climate changes over time.
