Being the eternal nerd that I am, I decided to use this lazy Sunday to explore a museum in Stockholm I hadn’t been to yet (and I’ve managed to cover a few...): The Museum of Medieval Stockholm.
It’s small, but entry is free (yay!) and there are the usual old artefacts: clothes, games, food containers, rocks (oh come on, every museum has some kind of ‘historic’ rock display), pieces of stone (technically still just rocks, but these have been shaped in some way, thus making them far more special than the other rocks on display), part of an old churchyard, as well as part of the wall that surrounded the city of Stockholm (the wall is from the 1500s from what I remember). A nice way to waste some time if you find yourself with nothing to do, or if you just want to learn some more about what Stockholm was like.
The museum is on Norrbro bridge (it’s the bridge that goes from almost in front of the Opera House to the side of the Royal Palace in central Stockholm), about halfway down the bridge there are stairs which lead to a square at water level, the museum is there.
This is the link to their site if you want some more information:
