This museum can be a bit tricky to locate, as it's tucked away under one of the bridges connecting Stockholm City to the Old Town. It's well worth a detour, though. The museum focuses on the history of Stockholm (starting in the mid-13th century, which is when the town is first mentioned in official documents). There are some displays around... More

Wow, I really liked the museum. Located under the bridge it was a bit hard for me to locate but I managed anyway. As for the museum - there are lots of interesting things there - numerous bits of information about people's lifestyle, looks, activities, the way the buildings looked, people's clothes, dishes etc etc And it's included in Stockholm...

Great museum tugged underneath a bridge from Stockholm City over to Gamla Stan. We went with our children age 8 and 10 and they were amazed. The exhibition is great - you can walk through the 'old' streets of Stockholm, meet its inhabitants, see the gallows (fairly spooky) etc. They had a nice children corner with activities, so we could...

I liked the Medieval Museum quite a lot, but i have to admit that had it been more interactive, I would have liked it more. Then again, my visit wasn't recent, so perhaps it's changed to become even better. More

We enjoyed our visit to the Medieval Museum of Stockholm, probably spending about an hour there. It is located down the steps below the Norrbro Bridge, opposite the north wall of the Royal Palace on Gamla Stan. Finding it is half the fun. Once you have found the entrance, you are rewarded for your efforts by discovering that the museum... More

Might be a little much for small children under 5 years old. They talk about e.g. the plague etc. But for older kids and adults extremely interesting and educational about the history of this part of Sweden. Enjoy. It is on the Stockholm card and really under the bridge to find. More

We read so many TripAdvisor reviews saying that this museum was hard to find that we actually had no trouble locating the Medeltidsmuseum under the Norrbro Bridge. The museum is well organized and proved to be a delight for our 11 year old grandson. He loved the holograms and displays. The knight in shining armour on the dead horse was... More

Free museum reconstructing live in medieval Stockholm with real Viking ship. They have useful guided tour for 40 minutes at 2 pm. I think this would be interesting place to see with schoolage kids too. More

We went to the Medival Museum using the Stockholm card. It is in a great location, just by the palace in the old town. This is a great place to bring kids. We went as a couple, but still enjoyed it. The museum is very interactive, there are lots of displays etc, not jus text. We only had 45 minutes... More

Very interesting museum for anyone interested on the city history. Compact and well arranged exibition with very interesting insights about Medieval history. The location shown on the Tripadvisor map is wrong. Look under the bridge in front of the parlament building. More
