Nordic Museum and its collection

Nordic Museum
Source

The Nordic Museum in Stockholm looks like a cathedral, but is in fact a museum with a vast collection of furniture, art and other artefacts connected with the cultural history of Sweden from the early modern period (which began in 1520) to the contemporary period. The museum is located on Djurgården and the building it is housed in was completed in 1907 after a 19-year construction process. The Nordic Museum holds over 1.5 million objects in its collections.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Nordic Museum in Stockholm offers visitors an insightful look into Scandinavian culture and history. Housed in an impressive Renaissance-style building, the museum's extensive collection spans from the 16th century to the present day.

    Visitors often appreciate the museum's well-organized exhibits that showcase Nordic lifestyle, traditions, and folk art. The displays on Swedish fashion through the ages and the extensive collection of traditional folk costumes receive particular praise. Many reviewers also highlight the Sami culture exhibit as informative and eye-opening.

    The museum's architecture is frequently mentioned as a standout feature, with its grand entrance hall and ornate details drawing admiration. However, some visitors note that the building's size can be overwhelming, and it may take several hours to explore thoroughly.

    While most find the exhibits engaging, a few reviewers mention that some sections could benefit from more English translations or interactive elements. The museum's restaurant and gift shop generally receive positive feedback for their quality and selection.

    Overall, the Nordic Museum provides a comprehensive overview of Nordic cultural history. It's particularly recommended for those interested in Scandinavian culture, design, and social history. While it may not be as interactive as some modern museums, its rich collection and beautiful setting make it a worthwhile visit for many tourists and locals alike.
