Review & FAQ:

The Swedish History Museum (Historiska Museet) is dedicated to showcasing the archaeology and cultural history of Sweden from the Mesolithic to the present day. Founded in 1866, the museum dates back to the 16th century, when it began as a base to house collections of art and historical objects gathered by Swedish monarchs.

Today, the museum presents several permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions tied to current events throughout the year. The museum has a concrete vault beneath the central courtyard known as the Gold Room, which features on display a variety of 3,000 gold and silver objects weighing between 52 and 200 kilograms.
