I honey the edifice itself, lite together with airy amongst skylights letting inwards lots of natural light. They bring a bully espresso bar which is perfect for a lite snack, otherwise they bring a overnice cafeteria amongst bully views over the harbour together with Strandvägen. Their gift store is the best museum gift store inwards Stockholm amongst enough of gizmos together with gadgets every bit good every bit books on art, fashion and photography. They besides bring a skillful alternative of prints together with posters. The museum is located on the isle of Skeppsholmen. The closest subway station is Kungsträdgården (blue line), otherwise it is a pleasant 25 infinitesimal walk from the Rival Hotel through the Old Town. One tin forcefulness out grab a ferry from Slussen, via Djurgården, every bit well. Entrance is 100 SEK, eighty for seniors together with gratuitous for children nether 19. It is, of course, gratuitous amongst the Stockholm Card. Be advised that the museum is closed on Mondays.
