 Stuffed animal museum |
Hazeliusporten Box 27807 Stockholm 11521 Sweden +46 (0)8 442 8215 http://www.biologiskamuseet.com |
The small, brown building that houses the Biological Museum is next to the entrance to Skansen. Completed in 1893, its old Nordic style is interesting, especially when you see the curious double spiral staircase inside. There are several displays of stuffed animals that are well-made reconstructions of their natural habitats. The sheer number of stuffed animals testify the expertise of the taxidermists. It is evident in one special creation, the surreal rabbit-hawk. By placing beautiful outspread wings on a rabbit, one taxidermist had succeeded in creating a strange creature popular from Swedish farmer folklore. To reach the museum, take buses 44 or 47 to Djurgården from T-Centralen, or the ferry from Slussen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

When you feel that everything and everyone is against you, come to Cliff Barnes and propose a toast to the biggest loser in TV history, Cliff Barnes of Dallas fame. There are pictures on the walls of him losing all his money yet again to the ice-cold J R Ewing. The atmosphere is friendly and cheerful. The jokes come thick and fast; the whole menu is one big pun. This is a place for everyone, young or old, trendy or totally uncool. Be forewarned though, it can get quite boisterous here at night. Review © 2007, Wcities |

King Gustav III, probably the most influential king of Swedish culture, founded The Royal Opera House in 1773. He forbade all foreign opera singers to sing in their own languages. He would not accept any opera unless it was performed in Swedish. Hence, all operas from this period are referred to as Gustavian. Today, the Royal Opera, which hosts close to 250 performances every year, is more open-minded than its founder and hosts performances in several languages. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Moderna Museum, located across the bridge from Skeppsholmen, is one of the most interesting museums in the city. The building itself is highly acclaimed for its clean aesthetic lines, open spaces and brilliant use of natural light. Many of the exhibitions create a powerful cocktail of provocative, shocking, confusing and fantastic elements, and it is possible that you may feel a bit dizzy in the spacious rooms, especially with works that force the audiences to re-evaluate space and dimensions. On the whole, the museum is a challenging but rewarding place to visit. It houses an excellent collection of both Swedish and international modern art, including many familiar pieces by Warhol, Duchamp, Matisse and Picasso. You can also spend several hours in the photography library, and the comprehensive gift shop. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This bar is located behind the church of St Paul, around the corner from Mariatorget. The clientele is often visited by moody youngsters dressed in black but its regulars are people who want an after-work drink. There is a restaurant section, but the bar is the main attraction. There are several pinball machines here but they can get crowded quite soon and you may have to wait for long to play. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Preserved 17th century ship |
Galärvarvsvägen 14 Stockholm 11521 Sweden +46 (0)8 5195 4800 http://www.vasamuseet.se |
In 1628, the highly-decorated warship, Vasa sailed from Stockholm on her anticipated maiden voyage and sank. However, three centuries later, in 1961, Vasa was discovered and salvaged, and is now the world's only preserved 17th-century ship. It has now been converted into a museum. The cleverly constructed museum allows you to view it from six levels. The history of the ship is documented with slide shows, movies and exhibitions. Information is available in 10 different languages. Check the website for admission prices and other details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Waldermarsudde is a museum which exhibits Prince Eugen's work as influenced by Cubism. The museum was designed by a famous architect who created the Thiel House. Apart from the Prince's own work, there is an impressive collection of Swedish art, which is dated between the 1880s and the 1940s. Outside the museum, there is a thousand-year-old oak tree.
