Nordic Museum, Cultural history museum on Djurgården island, Stockholm, Sweden
The Nordic Museum exhibits extensive collections of furniture, clothing, toys, and everyday items from Sweden and neighboring Nordic countries since the 16th century.
Artur Hazelius founded the museum in 1873 as the Scandinavian Ethnographic Collection, which received its current name Nordic Museum in 1880.
The museum highlights Nordic traditions through diverse exhibitions, including Table Settings displaying five centuries of dining practices from the region.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours, a restaurant serving Swedish specialties, and a shop with regional products.
The Renaissance-style building contains a 126-meter main hall featuring a central statue of King Gustav Vasa, with archives holding 6 million historical photographs.
