With most museums costing 100 SEK or more, this free museum is a refreshing change. One does get a good picture of life in Stockholm during Medieval times.

If, like me, you're interested in history, than I recommend this museum. It is fairly small, but is a very interesting way to spend one hour. The displays are all good, and best of all - its not just about objects, you gain a really good idea of what life was like in Stockholm in medieval times. I didn't hire... More

This museum is not large & could be easily be overlooked as it is situated under a bridge, but is well worth a visit for anyone interested to learn about Stockholm's mediaeval past. There are plenty of engaging displays & children would find it entertaining also. It can easily be combined with a visit to the nearby Royal Palace &... More

The museum contains a portion of the wall from the 15th century as well as artifacts and a cemetery. We had a great tour with Viktor. The nature of the museum is that is underground; that's where they found the wall, the cemetery, and artifacts when digging a parking garage. It's a bit dreary, but, if you are into medieval... More

Truly very interesting. Not so much to see as you might expect though. Visit the Royal palace at the same time. LL

The museum i built around a part of the medieval city wall, is comprehensive and interesting. Very hands on, with a small house in different stages of being built to show the techniques used in building the medieval Stockholm, lots of interesting artefacts and sketches and models of how it actually looked. And of course the goulish gallows' hill and... More

I was really surprised when I got here. Was just to heat myself from one of the coldest days in Stockholm and came over a really good museum. Really good exhibition and you learned a lot.

A couple of decades ago when the old Parliament and the area in front of it was restored parts of Old Stockholm was discovered underneath including parts of an old city wall. It was decided to create a museum of medieval Stockholm here underground. It's one of my favourites and includes lots of exhibits showing artifacts, boats, brick buildings (that... More

This is a cute, centrally placed little museum and I keep going back. And keep getting disappointed. The exhibition is never well displayed, it is small and I can’t remember one thing I have seen there. I like to learn something or feel inspired from a historical museum. If you also want this I recommend ‘Livrustkammaren’. The historical museum and... More

It is easy to pass this museum without seeing it, the door is a bit hidden. That actually helps the feeling of finding a secret... It is a very good place to start getting to know Stockholm - the origins are important! One gets an idea of how Stockholm appeared, grew, expanded, and also what it was like in the... More
