Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design — Attraction in Stockholm

Extremely disappointing. Regarding Design, the exhibition had a bunch of common items you can find in a drugstore. There was nothing regarding architecture, i'm confused why they even call it an architecture museum. The rest of the exhibition showed pretentious postmodern design, so if you're into that then you might enjoy it.

Now the architecture part was interesting. The exhibition showed a collection of minature buildings of sweden. And how the swede started to build homes and how the style changed by time.

When I went there was a temporary exhibition of some interestingly designed fixtures as well. Rating: 4/5

The modern art part was not really my fetish. I'm either to stupid to understand contemporary art or this was just some junk... Rating:...
