The peaceful city of Scandinavia, Stockholm is one of the busiest places in the world in terms of art history.. A true cultural capital with its unique architecture and many museums and galleries reflecting the vision of the city.. When it has more than 50 museums, I wanted to list the must-sees for those coming to Stockholm.. It was a little hard to separate but I still think I’m being fair.
Kungliga Slottet
The best Museums in Stockholm
<
#1Kungliga Slottet:
The Swedish Royal Palace was originally built as a fortress to protect Lake Malaren; The building, which was later reorganized with a series of restorations and Baroque style works, was severely damaged by a fire right after the works were completed.. The palace, which underwent a series of restorations after the fire, was completed in about 70 years.. Currently used as a museum displaying the collections of the Royal Family, the family mainly lives in Drottningholm Palace.
The palace is 1400′ Note that it has more than one room, I think you can more or less guess how big it is.. While visiting the museum, you will see some of the rooms.. Intensely felt style Baroque and Rococo. The ceilings largely complement the Baroque style embroideries, while the decorations complement the Rococo style.. Here, you have the chance to see many pieces from private dining rooms to meeting rooms, from family art collections to the queen’s clothing collection.
I definitely think that this type of palace should be seen to understand the essence of a city; For this reason, this is one of the first museums to be seen in Sweden.. Make sure to include the palace in Gamla Stan in your itinerary.. Introduction 150 SEK.
#2 Kungliga Museet:
I would like to welcome you to Sweden’s museum of art and design history; but unfortunately, the museum, which displays the fine arts archive from the 15th century to the present, is in a restoration process that will last until 2018.. Seeing its majestic architecture and reading the warning letter on it, I swallowed hard.. The National Museum, which I think will definitely be much more beautiful when finished, features classical works by international and Swedish artists such as Rembrandt, Goya, Rubens, Goya and Rubens.. If my path goes here again in two years, I will definitely go.. My love for the fine arts is clear.
#3 Nordiska Museet:
Here it is Another one of Stockholm’s giant museums; Nordiska. The museum right at the beginning of Djurgarden contains in-depth information on Swedish community culture and history.. Nordiska, which was founded by the Swedish historian Arthur Hazelius towards the end of the 19th century, together with the Skansen Open Air Museum, which you will read soon; One of the largest museums in Sweden and the best in the world in the field of ethnography.
The story of the establishment of the museum is also very special.. When Hazelius did not receive the attention he expected from the state, he began to collect objects of all kinds, with donations and collections.. That is, all of the objects exhibited in the museum were collected from various Swedish cities and surrounding Nordic cities.. When you see Nordiska, you will understand better how successful Hazelius was in this project and how well supported he established it.
Reflecting Nordic culture from the 1500s to the present. In the museum, which hosts over 1.5 million pieces, the ones that interest me the most are; There were sections on the themes of food and beverage, accessories and clothing history.. I think the most beautiful feature of the museum is that the sections are exhibited in historical order with periodic examples.. It also hosts various video and photography exhibitions periodically.. We stumbled upon an exhibition of black and white photographs depicting the old face of Stockholm.. This place is really big and very crowded, so I definitely recommend coming early in the morning.. Luckily it was free the day we went, normally SEK 100.
#4 Vasa Museet:
Djurgarden’s port The Vasa Museet, located on the side of the island, exhibits the remains of the warship Vasa, which sank off the coast of Sweden shortly after its opening in 1628, and maritime archives.. Vasa, 17. The only ship that has been preserved since the century. In the museum you will see this ship with over 90% preserved, this is a great example of design and archiving.
Vasa suddenly ran out of battery Photograph from: Ola Ericson, www.visitstockholm.com
Search work in the 1950s when Vasa, which was sunk with her entire crew in 1628, was confirmed to be buried near the harbour. initiated. When the ship was unearthed in 1961, the repair work of the ship was started and the museum was opened in 1990.. Documentary films where you can watch all these processes can be watched in different language options in the museum.
It is fascinating to watch the wooden details on Vasa, which has 700 wooden sculptures on it.. You travel three floors to see all the corners of the ship. In the rooms between the floors, items and materials unearthed from inside the ship and near the shipwreck are exhibited.. In addition, you can clearly read all the processes from the construction of the ship to its recovery in the museum with maps and notes. Entry 130 SEK.
#5 Moderna Museet:
Considered one of the best modern art museums in the world Our arrival to Moderna Museet was late afternoon, my suggestion is to come here in the morning, just like Nordiska.. In addition to the Swedish modern art collection at the museum, you can also see works by artists such as Salvador Dali, Henri Matisse and Marchel Duchamp.. Admission is free to most sections, and you can enter some exhibitions by paying a fee.
When you come to Moderna Museet, you can have an espresso in its cafe, take a breather in its leafy garden, Don’t forget to look at the Le Paradis Fantastique installation in the sculpture park just outside the museum.. You will come across the works of many artists in the sculpture park, this is what the urban landscape is like for me.. The more intertwined art and nature, the easier people internalize the concepts.. As a footnote; Let me point out that a branch of the museum was opened in Malmö, one of Sweden’s other major cities, in 2009.
#6 Skansen :
Skansen, the world’s first open-air museum, is a must-see, especially for those traveling with children.. You will see a miniature of Sweden decades ago in Skansen, which feels like you have taken a journey through history and is full of fairy tale cottages and houses.. Since we didn’t have much time in the city, we had to travel fast, but it is quite possible to spend a full day here when we say that it was the zoo, the bakery, the huts that have survived to the present day.. Entrance fees vary between 100-150 SEK periodically. By the way, as an important information, it is useful to remind you that Skansen is closed after 4 pm – except summer season.. If you want to travel to the fullest, don’t go 1 hour before closing like us
#7 Fotografiska:
Fotografiska has good news for those who don’t want museums and galleries for their day trips; this place is open until 10 pm. The gallery of modern photography exhibitions, Fotografiska is one of Sweden’s most hardworking. The gift section of the museum, which holds an average of 20 exhibitions a year, is the most beautiful gallery boutique in Stockholm, in my opinion.. If you come back without stopping by, you can say “I wish” later.. Introduction 120 SEK.
#8 ABBA The Museum:
Mamma mia, here I go again!
My my, how can I resist you?
Stockholm’s most entertaining museum ABBA: The Museum is an interactive museum displaying songs, outfits and videos of Sweden’s very famous band ABBA. I strongly recommend that you take a colorful break, which will be good for your walking tour of Stockholm, at the ABBA Museum in Djurgarden.. At 195 SEK per person, this is the most expensive museum, but dancing inside is free, let me tell you!
Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities
Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities
#9 Östasiatiska Museet:
Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm, China, India, Asia, Japan and the address of Korean collections. A good choice for those who are interested in the Far East like me.. On the way down from Moderna to the port, just on the right. If you don’t have time, the Moderna Museet is definitely the priority.
Spritmuseum
#10 Spritmuseum
Another cultural wonder from Djurgarden; spritmuseum. This is a compact experience place rather than a museum. A place where you can see Swedish alcoholic beverages, taste these drinks and different aromas, and a place that is hard to find in other cities with its bar, restaurant and location.. Various tasting kits are sold in his store. You will need it in the chaos of Stockholm return, take it. J If you have the chance to plan your trip in advance, you can book tasting workshops. Introduction 100 SEK.
