Dance museum, Dance institution in central Stockholm, Sweden
This museum in central Stockholm holds nearly 50,000 objects including stage costumes, musical instruments, original manuscripts, and dance artifacts from around the world. The collection is housed at Drottninggatan 17 and demonstrates the range of this art form across cultures.
Founded in 1953, the institution occupies the Kronobageriet building, which is Northern Europe's oldest surviving industrial structure from the 17th century. This connection between a modern collection and historic architecture shapes the place today.
The museum displays collections assembled by someone who brought Swedish ballet culture to France and documented dance traditions from around the world. The objects reflect how this person introduced global dance forms to the European art world.
The museum is located at a central spot in Stockholm and is easily reached by public transport. Opening times vary by day of the week, so checking in advance helps plan your visit.
A current exhibition explores spinning movements across different dance forms and how various cultures use this motion in their rituals. This exhibition reveals how a single movement element creates deep connections between distant dance traditions.
