Stockholms Medeltidsmuseum

A Journey Through Medieval Stockholm

The Museum of Medieval Stockholm vividly presents life in 16th century Stockholm. It was established when archaeological excavations unearthed medieval foundations in the late 1970s.

Founded in 1986, the museum is built around the remnants of the largest excavation in Stockholm, showcasing the original 16th-century town wall, medieval graveyards, and a warship. Its unique circular layout allows visitors to traverse reconstructions of homes, markets, and workshops.
