Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities, Archaeological museum in Norrmalm, Sweden.
The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities displays objects spanning more than 7,000 years of history from Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, the Roman Empire, and the Near East.

The museum was established in 1954 and later moved to Gustav Horns Palats, opening to the public in 1982. It has grown into an important center for studying and preserving the ancient cultures around the Mediterranean region.
The collections show how people in the Mediterranean and Near East lived through everyday objects made of clay, stone, and metal that reveal their daily practices. You can see items that demonstrate how these cultures connected and influenced one another across regions and time.
The museum is located in a historic building in the city center and is open to visitors on most days of the week, though hours are shorter on weekends. It is best to allow plenty of time for your visit since the collections are extensive and deserve a leisurely pace.
The museum holds the world's largest collection of Cypriot art outside Cyprus, with hundreds of thousands of objects showing the wealth of this ancient island culture. This exceptional collection makes it the premier place globally to understand ancient Cypriot civilization.
