The Museum of National Antiquities is an archaeological museum that traces Swedish cultural history and art from the Stone Age to the 16th century. Visitors can explore the Gold Room in the basement and find out more about the glittering past of the Vikings.
The museum aims to preserve the remains of the first 12,000 years of man's activities in the country, most of which is intended for research.
The highlight of this impressive museum has to be the Gold Room in the appropriately dark basement, which shows Viking culture at its most prosperous and, indeed, hedonistic. It also houses one of the finest collections of medieval painted wooden sculpture in Europe.
