The Nordic Museum is located next to the Vasa Museum, and it is just a short walk from the Skansen Open-Air Folk Museum. The Nordic Museum features over 500 years of Swedish history and culture.

The Nordic Museum is in the Danish Renaissance style and looks much like a palace. The Nordic Museum is spread out on four floors, with the exhibit from Sami (Lapp) being one of the most interesting and unusual. The other areas of the Nordic Museum feature Swedish folk costumes, fashions, table settings, and other elements of Swedish cultural history.
