The Nordic Museum 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.

Explore the museum and it's exhibitions through our audioguide, available in 10 languages: English, German, Spanish, Russian, French, Finnish, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Sami, Swedish and Easy Swedish.
