Stockholm 500 years in 50 minutes

Discover Stockholm’s rich history spanning over four centuries, from the 16th century to the present day.

The City Museum is located in an old 17th century palace — filled with stories from the city’s past.

In this tour of the museum, you will get a grip on the history of Stockholm and its development following the medieval period and up until today.

We walk through the Stockholm Exhibition and look at how the city has changed since the 16th century.

Starting off with the Reformation and onto The Swedish Empire, the terrible plague, industrialization and welcoming the tube as a means of faster transportation.

During the tour we discuss incidents that contributed to how the city evolved and what that may have meant for its inhabitants.
