The Arctic – while the ice is melting
Nordiska museet is Sweden’s largest museum of cultural history. An everyday palace, and a place of stories about the life and people of the Nordic region – yesterday, today and tomorrow. Discover clothes and fashion, textiles and jewellery, homes and furniture, photography, toys, folk art, glass and porcelain. There is also an exhibition about the only indigenous people in Sweden, the Sami.
The museum is open daily 10 am–5 pm and Wednesday evenings 5–8 pm with safety precautions due to Covid-19.
