The Stockholm Exhibition

Svenska

Follow Stockholm’s transformation from a small town in northern Europe to a modern Scandinavian city.

Across three floors, explore Stockholm’s history. From plague to punk rockers, via royal warmongers, breakthrough innovations and of course the Swedish welfare-state ideal known as Folkhemmet.

 

 

The different parts of the exhibition

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.

King’s City and Capital City

Welcome to a small town 500 years ago, on the outskirts of Northern Europe.
