This museum has its own unique style from amongst all the museums in Sweden. It’s one of the most fascinating and scrumptious museums in Stockholm. It’s worth a visit if you would like to indulge your senses in the local flavoured drinks in the tasting rooms, bars and restaurants. This museum highlights the admirable yet complicated relationship of Swedish people with alcohol, where it will take you on an unforgettable journey based on local art, scenery, experience, scents, and tastes. Feel and smell the flavours and get a glimpse through the Swedish spirit tradition and drinking culture. The tasting takes part in the museum's permanent exhibition ‘Sweden: Spirits of a Nation’. Here, you will find the typical Swedish environments, highlighted by the knowledgeable guides on akvavit and its importance for Swedish phenomena such as smorgasbord, snapsvisa, surstromming. You will be left mesmerised with the experience as you walk through this museum and experience the various exhibits and events related to alcohol. The museum is located between the two remaining naval buildings of 18th century, on the island of Djurgarden. Spend your time with booze and relax!
