The Viking Museum
A Viking museum opened in 2017. The main attraction is Ragnfrids saga, an 11-minute ride through dioramas depicting a Viking adventure. The ride is a bit scary; children should be at least 7 years old, and accompanied by an adult. There is also an exhibition with replicas of Viking objects. Good for visitors who want a short introduction to the Vikings and are not bothered by the cover charge or the absence of genuine artifacts. See Vikings and the Old Norse for more real-life Viking experiences.

Vasa Museum
Vasamuseet
This museum displays the Vasa, an original warship built for the Thirty Years War which sank in Stockholm Harbour on its maiden voyage in 1628, during the heyday of the Swedish Empire. Salvaged in 1961, the ship is almost wholly preserved, and is the only one of its kind and quality in the world. A must-see, especially since it is uncertain whether current methods of preservation will be able to maintain her condition in years to come. There are adequate lifts to enable travellers with motion disabilities to see all levels of the ship. The museum contains several side exhibitions: skeletons found in the ship hulk with full-scale models of the people who died, as well as wooden sculptures, the world's oldest preserved sail, computer simulations of the disastrous voyage, and other salvaged objects.

Biological Museum
Biologiska museet
Scandinavian and Arctic dioramas with stuffed Scandinavian animals, lit only by daylight (limiting the opening hours; the museum closes at 15:00 in October-March, and 16:00 in April-September). When built in 1893, the diorama technique was revolutionary, and inspired similar museums worldwide. A century later, the museum is more interesting as an artifact of educational history, than a faithful display of nature.
