I visited the the östasiatiska museet on a real autumn day. I had high expectations of the museum and was therefor rather disappointed that is was much smaller then I expected. The part that I really loved was the collection of Buddhist and Indian sculptures. I just wished that there was more material like this to be seen in this museum. The museum houses several exhibitions about the Far East (China, Korea and Japan) but also India and South East Asia. They have several changing exhibitions. At the time of my visit it was about Japanese Tattoo Art.
The museum is not only a 'museum' but also a meeting place for those who are interested in Asia. The museum organises courses and workshop like Kalligrafi, Ikebana and Origami.
In the photos you can see some of the works you can see in the östasiatiska museet / The Museum of Eastern Antiquities.

On Skepsholmen are several of Stockholms museums and this is one of them: The Museum of Eastern Antiquities (östasiatiska museet). This museum is wonderfully located at Skeppsholmen. You have some lovely views over the city from here; right in front, on the other side of the water is the Royal Palace. The island of Skeppsholmen not only houses the Östasiatiska museet but also the Modern Museum and the Arkitekturmuseet, all in walking distance. The museum is housed in a historical buidling dating back to 1699.
The museum is unique in the way that it has one of the foremost collections of Chinese art outside Asia.
