National Museum

Visiting Stockholm for the first time, there were so many museums to choose from. Bring an art lover we opted out for the National Museum. A superb collection of variety of artworks and art pieces from different time periods. Would highly recommend, and would say it’s well worth the visit. Graciously photos were allowed to be taken in the exhibition area of the art.

Absolutely worth a visit. The Musuem has mixed art including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, metal, apparel, every day items, music, tapestry, etc. It is displayed as periods of time and is very interesting to see how art developed and changed over time. For a quick walk through, estimate 2 hours but if you want to see everything properly, then it can easily take 5 hours. The restaurant has delicious fare and is set in a garden inside and is a lovely place for a bite or lunch. There are ample washrooms and free lockers for bags and coats. You cannot keep your luggage though.

We really enjoyed our visit here the exhibits were nice and we especially liked the sculpture garden on the main floor. We did find that some of the works could have used a longer description than just the dates. The building is also stunning so look up at the ceiling so you don't miss out on the murals. The only washrooms are in the basement so that's a bit inconvenient.

The National Museum in Sweden is worth the visit. They don't allow backpacks, so after buying the ticket, simply go to the basement floor to store your backpack, it is free. Don't make my mistake of holding my backpack in my hands throughout the visit! The museum has a great selection of paintings and sculptures. I especially loved the exhibition where they showed the home interiors of different periods in Sweden.

National Museum is definitely worth a visit. Not only for the extensive art from Medieval to Modern but also the excellent architecture. The ground floor courtyards are particularly impressive with roof skylights.

An excellent museum. Very extensive collection of artworks. Many artworks from well-known artists. Has a restaurant attached.

Amazing museum! Has a wide and big collection of paintings, statues, and sculptures! Has 6 floors , but 2 or 3 are active, but still will require about 3-5 hours to go throw everything! The staff are friendly! The restaurants and gift shop has wide selection! The toilets are clean!

We recently visited the Stockholm National Museum and had a fantastic experience. The ticket price for adults is 160 SEK, and booking in advance from the official website made it super easy to get in without waiting in line. The museum boasts an impressive collection of sculptures, statues, paintings, and historical objects like porcelain items, vases, clothing, and various beautifully designed objects. With two floors in addition to the ground floor, there are plenty of artifacts to explore, keeping us engaged for about 2-3 hours. Facilities at the museum are excellent, including an information desk, a shop, a restaurant, and nice clean toilets. There's also a convenient locker room for storing bags. Overall, the Stockholm National Museum offers a rich cultural experience with its extensive exhibits and well-maintained amenities.

Very good museum showcasing art (including some jewelry and interior design objects) from many countries, but primarily Scandinavia. Allow at least 2-3 hours. There is a nice interior picnic area if you prefer not to go to the museum's restaurant or cafe.

I love art museums and the Nationalmuseum is the largest art museum in Sweden. It is the state museum and has exhibits with paintings, sculptures and design objects. It is one of Europe's oldest museums, dating back to 1792 (though this building did not house the collections until 1866). Tickets to the permanent collections are free. When I visited, the temporary exhibit was not something that appealed so I did not purchase a ticket for that one. Most of the paintings are Swedish artists I have never heard of but here and there were some names that I did recognize. Auguste Renoir, Édouard Manet and Paul Cézanne. There is a large Asian exhibit, a display of jewelry (brooches, bracelets and rings), pocketwatches, and much more. Expect two hours at minimum, a half day if you truly want to see everything. [Review 18727 overall - 61 in Sweden - 2250 of 2022.]

This is a beautiful museum, definitely worth the trip. The admission is free and the building has recently been renovated. The architecture of the place is beautiful. The art is from many generations and styles but showcases the art of Sweden quite nicely. I didn't feel like I was in any museum in Europe, it was decidedly Swedish. It is a well-spent afternoon.

Older reviews mention a fee, but since reopening, most of the halls (excluding some temporary exhibits) are now free for everyone. This was a good chronology of Swedish art, mostly painting. Signs told the right amount of high level info in Swedish and English, and a free audio guide via app could go into much more depth. There are a handful of French and Italian masters, presented in the context of the Swedish artists they influenced. I also particularly enjoyed the exhibit on Swedish design, exploring how it has evolved and what makes it unique.

The Nationalmuseum Sweden is one of the most beautiful museum buildings in the world. Closed for renovation until 2017 the museum now shows their collections and exhibitions in several different venues around Stockholm, Sweden and internationally. See collections exhibitions at Konstakademi or changing exhibitions at their gallery space on Terminal 5 at Arlanda Airport. There is also a great collaborative space at Kulturhuset.

The Atrium is the restaurant inside the national museum of Sweden (Nationalmuseum), hosted inside the centre courtyard of the museum. The interior is quite light with the ceiling, being all glass, several floors above. The food is like what you can expect from an eating place inside a museum but a bit higher quality. All the food seems to actually be cooked on the premises with fresh ingredients, however maybe not the best considering the amount of fat on the pieces of beef in the stew I had. Food is good enough though and it is a nice place to sit down to relax your tired feet after walking around the museum.

Probably the most extensive and renowned collection in town. Please dedicate at least one half or better full day to fully explore all its sections.

I visited the National Museum just today. Currently, adults are 120kr; students are 100kr. The museum has a nice collection of paintings. I was delighted to see Rembrandt's self portrait as well as a version of Munch's The Scream. There are 3 floors (including ground floor): Ground: special free exhibit, ticket office, gift shop, lockers/coat area (requires a 1kr deposit) First: Swedish design, from 1500-present. Second: Nordic/European paintings and sculptures, from 1500-1800ish. + special exhibits I thought the gallery was just the right size--not too big and not too small. We were there for about 2 hours; probably going back for one more visit would still be just as enjoyable. If you like studying all the works, I think it'd take at least a solid 3 hours. I enjoyed most of the paintings, but really liked looking at the modern design exhibit--old phones, calculators, chairs, the first microwave oven, etc. Very cool. Though I must add that the extra 4th star is really for their current special exhibit, The Four Seasons. I think it's only on until the end of May. I highly recommend that exhibit, especially for those who haven't seen Swedish painters' work. These paintings were quite different from what I've seen in canvas work; the lighting of the sky and water, especially those that depicted the long/short Nordic days, were really beautiful. This is one of the most enjoyable exhibitions I've ever been to at a museum. Overall, lovely museum. It not only has a nice collection, but the National Museum building is in itself a beautiful thing to see.

After I enjoyed wonderful Old Master and 18th Century Paintings and Art,I returned to this art museum to enjoy its 19th and 20th Century paintings the following day.Paintings that I especially enjoyed by Nordic Country Painters included;Thomas Fearnley's"Arco Naturale,Capri"(Norwegian),Carl Hill's"Bois Le Roi,on Seine River",Bruno Lilijefors'"Poacher",Carl Wilhelmson's"Church-Goers On Boat",Ernst Josephson's"Watersprite",Anders Zorn's"Omnibus".Helmer Osslund's"Autumn",and Arvid Fougstedt's"Five Artists",among so many others.Other paintings that especially captivated me were Christian Ezdorf's"Coastal Landscape,Iceland",Francois Granet's"Audience With Cardinal Aldobrandini In Frascati",Claude Monet's"View Over Sea",Pierre Renoir's"Mother Anthony's Tavern",and Edgar Degas'"3 Russian Dancers"',among others.The two days that I spent at the Nationalmuseum were very enriching.For non-Swedish visitors,there is labelling of their treasures in English as well as Swedish..

Nice interior, food not great. Just sit there with a drink instead.
