The Nordic Museum (in Swedish, Nordiska museet, where "museet" means "the museum"), is located on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm in Sweden, is a museum dedicated to the history of the Swedish people and their culture since end of the Middle Ages to contemporary time. Your visit is free until 18 years and for adults the value is 100 SEK. It was founded at the beginning of the 19th century by Artur Hazelius, who also founded the open-air museum in Skansen. These two museums were initially part of the same project and became independent in 1963. The objects presented in Skansen are still today owned by the Nordic Museum.

At first they intended to represent the culture of all Scandinavia, but Hazelius had to confine itself to Sweden. The exhibitions present different aspects of life in Sweden according to the times, and in the different social strata. They have as subjects to deal with, crafts, traditions, food, human habitat, toys, clothing ...

The building housing the museum was conceived by Isak Gustaf Clason and built between 1888 and 1907. Initial plans were much more ambitious and envisaged a four-fold building. It is inspired by the architecture of the Danish Renaissance, of which Frederiksborg Castle is the culminate work.
