Stockholm Museums

Vikings, the Vasa and modern art

With more than 70 museums in Stockholm, you'll have no trouble finding something that interests you. Walk through traditional Swedish homes and buildings at the open-air museum of Skansen, or at the Vasamuseet gaze up at the massive 17th-century Vasa warship, salvaged after 300 years on the sea floor. The Historiska Museet has an impressive exhibit on the Vikings, while the Moderna Museet displays the likes of Picasso, Pollock and Warhol.
