Exhibitions

Svenska

Through three floors, we take you from Empire dreams to suburban punk rockers via skid row poetry, beer houses and of course “folkhemmet” — the Swedish prosperity concept. In addition, you can visit temporary exhibitions.

The Stockholm exhibition

Join us on a breathtaking journey from a small place on the outskirts of northern Europe to an urban, Scandinavian metropolis.

On Ryssgården, which we also can see outside the museum’s window, a Russian merchant displays his wares. He has the right to do so here, although under stringent control. And should war break out, he may instead find himself in a Swedish jail. Photo: Mattias Ek.
