Can I bring a stroller into the museum?

Strollers are allowed in most areas of the museum, except for the Gold Room at the Swedish History Museum due to evacuation routes.

A designated stroller parking area is available in the entrance hall, but the museum is not responsible for parked strollers. A limited number of pushchairs are available to borrow – just ask at the information desk!

To the right of the entrance stairs, there is an elevator to the main floor. The door has an automatic opening function via a push button, and the elevator is monitored by security cameras.

During holidays, school breaks, and the summer season, we kindly ask you to park your stroller outside the entrance. There is a cable in the courtyard where you can lock it securely.

Can I bring my own food?

We have a large and welcoming lunchroom. There, you'll have access to running water and a microwave. If the weather allows, you are also welcome to eat outside in our courtyard.
