As the summer season is coming to an end, it is time to look forward and see what autumn has to offer! Stockholm is a great city to visit for a long weekend or a "city break". Enjoy the pulse of the city, dine out, do some shopping and visit some great museums. We had some wonderful summer exhibitions and here is what the major art museums and galleries are showing during the coming season:

If you are more interested in history, then Stockholm has a wealth of history based museums. Click here for a list with links. There are also many smaller art galleries and museums in the city that I haven't listed. If you are staying at the Rival Hotel, stop by and talk to me and I can help you with information about these galleries.
