I often write about the popular art and history museums in Stockholm...
the Vasa,
Skansen,
Moderna,
National,
Nobel,
Historiska and
Fotografiska. But there are so many other museums to choose from; there is a museum for every taste and interest. With over 80 museums, Stockholm is one of the highest museums-per-capita cities in the world!

| Museum of Dance |
You have museums of other cultures and history than Swedish:
Jewish,
Mediterranean,
Ethnography and
East Asian. There are museums for specific arts:
architecture,
dance,
silk & weaving,
lithography and
music & theater. There are even museums for specific interests:
toys,
police,
technology,
naval history,
military,
post,
tobacco and even
alcohol (opening in May, 2012). Not to mention, a myriad of art galleries throughout the city! Two of the smaller museums are of special importance this year... the
Strindberg Museum and the
Sport Museum (
Riksidrottsmuseet) as Stockholm is celebrating the 100th anniversary of both the
playwright & novelist's death as well as the
1912 Stockholm Olympics.
