Museum of Medieval Stockholm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Museum of Medieval Stockholm, which is centrally located north of the Royal Palace, was constructed around some ancient monuments that were excavated in an extensive archaeological dig in the late 1970s. Part of Stockholm's city wall, dating from the early 16th century, was also found.
The Museum enables visitors to experience medieval Stockholm, with its brick houses and booths, workshops, harbour and gallows. It relates the medieval history of the city from the 1250s to the 1520s.
The Museum of Medieval Stockholm produces theme exhibitions with a medieval emphasis and arranges lectures, symposia and programmes. It engages in broad educational activities, in which children, youth and schools are a key target group. The Museum has a shop that sells books relating to the Middle Ages, and also postcards and jewellery.
