Nordic Museum
Nordiska museet
A castle-like museum at the entrance to Djurgården, showing five centuries of Swedish folk culture, clothing, and ways of life.
The Nordic Museum sits at the entrance to Djurgården. Its palatial building, completed in 1907, is impressive in itself. In the central hall stands a giant seated statue of Gustav Vasa, sculpted by Carl Milles. The museum's main theme is the everyday lives of Swedes. Its exhibits cover clothing, table manners, home life, Sámi culture, and festival traditions, providing a good way to understand Swedish society. Admission costs about SEK 150 to 180, subject to the official website. It is next to the Vasa Museum, so the two can be visited on the same day. Take Tram 7 to the Nordiska museet/Vasamuseet stop.
