Brief Introduction to Nordiska museet

How did a wool skirt from Dalarna become the beginning of an entire museum? And what was the building originally?

You'll find the answers during the museum's short introductory tour covering its history and architecture. The tour tells the story of Sofi and Artur Hazelius and how a single object grew into a collection of 1.5 million items, countless images, and thousands of stories.

Such a collection needs its own space - so the tour also explores the history of the museum building on Djurgården, with a look at the building itself.
