Stockholm Medieval Museum — Attraction in Stockholm

For those who are confused about the entrance, it can be found at the Strömparterren (little park area with a statue and a small water fountain).

After entering the museum, you will first enter the souvenir area and you can decide either you got further to the museum or you want to leave your stuff at the lockers (entrance and exits are the same way). Of course, you can request a tours for those who want to know more about the history of the Gamla Stan and how the people lived (English tours are at 14:00 to 14:30 during July–August.

I personally find this museum very interesting and I am very glad that I went to visit here. Not only I was able to learn many things about the old town and life in Stockholms. But I really loved how they presented their museums (very interactive and it made you feel as if you are back in medieval time).

This museum is free of charge and definitely worth a visit for family, couples, ... just any age!

The only remarks that I have is about the website and opening hours. All the updates are made on Swedish versions but not in English version. So beware that opening hours for July - August are different from the regular one (it will open at 10:00 - 17:00 from Tuesday til Sunday and Monday is closed). I didn't know about it and I waited til 12:00 just to find out this fact...

I crossed the little island three times to find the hidden museum under the street. Admission is free but it has so much inside. One gets a thorough view of many aspects (including a corner dedicated to tortures) of living and growing up as a regular person in Medieval Stockholm. When I climbed up the little house and randomly looked out from the window, for a moment I thought I was really in Medieval Stockholm! Totally didn't expect that. The texts (also in English) were vivid, descriptive, and anecdotal. This is the first museum I visited in Sweden; "Stockholm is a dirty city", "streets are full of body oder but the people don't mind", "black rats", "things in public bathhouses can get quite wild and turn into downright brothels" were not what I expected to read in a museum (is this Swedish humor?), but the language portrayed the brutal and difficult era in a bearable way and perhaps that was the spirit of Medieval Stockholmers. There were guided tours in Swedish and then English around 2pm. In addition to the contents already in texts, they introduced extra details about the objects in display, such as the big...

There is no admission fee for visitors to the Stockholm Medieval Museum .

Located between the Royal Castle and House of Parliament this museum might be an interesting stop. Perfect for visitors in the age 3-103Y old/young. My kids loved the place.

PLEASE NOTE: You must take the stairs (or elevator) down to the waterfront when you are standing on the bridge. The museum is actually located UNDER the bridge.

The museum is fairly small, but packed with interesting information connected to Stockholm's history.

Inside the museum you will find both mini models and full scale models of the old settlement, buildings, ships, armory, knights etc etc.

There is also a workshop area for the kids, where they can sit down and paint, draw or build their own models of dragons etc.

At the entrance you will find the museum shop with souvenirs, books etc.

The restrooms are very clean and you can store away your belongings in lockers during the stay.

Guided tours (30 minutes) are offered and audio equipment can be borrowed if you prefers to walk the museum in...
