• Free activity trails at the entrance, in several difficulty levels, that kids follow through the exhibitions at their own pace
• Packed lunch room on the lower floor with a microwave, plus the courtyard for picnics when the weather allows
• Strollers to borrow and a quiet room for breaks, handy on a half day with small kids

Historiska museet holds The Viking World, billed as the largest Viking exhibition in the world, with 2,500 original objects, interactive stations and old Norse tales. Prehistories covers Stone Age tools, art and some of the first runes, and the Gold Room shows Viking Age silver pendants and Migration Period gold collars.

Free activity trails send kids through the exhibitions, and the courtyard gives them room to run.
