Stockholm Museums - Stockholm is home to numerous museums of all sizes and types. The cities museums range from your traditional Art and History Museum, to an Architect Museum (Arkitekturmuseet) and a Butterfly House (Fjarilshuset). Most museums will have different hours Tuesday and Wednesday than they do Thursday through Sunday, and many are closed on Mondays so be sure to check the museums operating times before you set out for a visit.

With the purchase of the Stockholm Museum Card, admission into the majority of the cities museums is free of charge. Without a Stockholm card you will be often charged a small free for admittance, if you plan on visiting several museums a Stockholm card may be a good purchase because it also allows you free transport on the cities public transport which is often located directly next to the museums entrance. In most cases a museum tour can be preformed in English as well Swedish. If you do not know Swedish you may want to inquire with the museum prior to your arrival to ensure you will be able to understand, although several museums can be quite enjoyable without taking the proper tour.
