Fodor's Expert Review Nationalmuseum

Reopened in 2018 after a five-year renovation, Sweden's leading art museum has an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures, prints, and other works of art and design. The emphasis is on Swedish and Nordic art, but other areas are well represented, particularly 17th-century Dutch and 18th-century French paintings. The collections are presented in chronological order, forming a timeline through the museum. On the ground floor, a glassed-in courtyard houses a collection of sculptures portraying Norse gods, important people from Swedish history and culture, and other figures. An admission fee is charged for some of the temporary exhibitions.
