Nordic Museum (Stockholm)

Nordic Museum - by Management





Description
The Nordic Museum (Nordiska museet) in Stockholm displays exhibits relating to Swedish cultural history and ethnography, from the 16th century up to the modern era. The collections contain thousands of decorative objects, clothes and toys from the Nordic countries as well as documents and photographs (since the 1840s). It is housed in a building constructed at the turn of the 20th century; its centrepiece is the immense main hall (126m long).
Access & Transport
The museum is in the northwest of Djurgården, an island with many of Stockholm key attractions located about 2km east of the city centre but easily accessible by public transport. The bus (67, 69, 76) and tram (7) stop 'Nordiska museet/Vasamuseet' is right in front of the building and the ferry is also an option (#82 from Slussen / #80 from Nybroplan to Allmänna gränd). For those driving, note that there are very limited parking spaces on the island so it is best to park before crossing the bridge (Djurgårdsbron), the museum is located right after it.
Instructions & Recommendations
Please note that you need to purchase a ticket in advance to visit the temporary exhibition ("Paris of the North" at the time of this review). The ticket is valid during a 90 minutes drop-in slot and and during the day (10 am-5 pm) at the rest of the museum. Nearby attractions include the Vasa Museum, the Skansen open-air museum, and the Gröna Lund amusement park.
Environmental & Social
Cultural aspects. No info about the museum's operations available online so we deem the activity marginally negative in that respect (electricity usage mostly)
Conclusion
The gorgeous building belies an impressive main hall but the exhibits itself are unlikely to sustain anyone's interest for very long, unless you are really into history seen through the prism of clothes and everyday objects of the time.
Key positive
Attractive building and interior spaces
Near several other attractions
Key negative
Some visually arresting displays but cultural depth is quite limited
Not cheap considering the content
Suitability
Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility. Suitable for all ages but younger children are unlikely to be very interested
