Sweden's leading art and design museum

Word to the wise: Due to renovation, Nationalmuseum’s regular museum building is closed until 2017. Their temporary exhibition space is currently at Konstakademien (The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts).

Nationalmuseum has one of the most impressive art collections in Scandinavia, and certainly the best in Sweden. While the museum's beautiful, mid-19th century, Renaissance building is closed, Nationalmuseum is collaborating with other venues to hold temporary exhibitions.

The museum's exhibitions include incredible works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Goya, Renoir, Degas and Gauguin, as well as famous Swedish artists like Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn. The collections range in their age, but date from as far back as the middle ages, to as recently as the 20th century.
