Stadsmuseet, Stockholm’s City Museum, invites visitors to explore 500 years of the city’s history. Located by Slussen, the museum offers free admission and presents exhibitions that connect Stockholm’s past with its present and future. Visitors can discover stories through photographs, objects, reports and historic settings, including portraits that bring previously unknown Stockholmers into view. The museum also shares knowledge about the cultural heritage of the city’s buildings and environments, using blue, green and yellow classifications to indicate heritage value.

Its programme includes guided tours, lectures, city walks and events, with activities in English and options for school groups. Visitors can also explore Stockholm through free mobile audio guides. On site, the museum has a café, library, children’s spaces and a shop featuring products related to Stockholm. Its digital collections make photographs, artefacts and reports searchable online. Stadsmuseet also provides information and answers questions about its work, Stockholm’s buildings and the city’s history, helping residents and visitors engage with the stories that shape the capital.
