Nordiska Museet
What the experts agree on
Nordiska Museet's ornate 1907 palace showcases centuries of Swedish life through quirky, accessible exhibits—from peasant costumes to bathrooms—though its old-fashioned presentation adds charm rather than detract.
“Holds peasant costumes from every region of the country and exhibits on many aspects of Swedish life, including the culture of the Sami... Lapps.”
