Power struggles, love, celebration, and everyday life – our exhibitions feature thousands of objects and just as many fascinating stories. See the Swedish History Museum's current exhibitions.
The Viking World
Join us on a journey to the Viking Age. See 2,500 original artefacts, learn about trade, travel, and beliefs – and discover how the Vikings really lived.
See gold collars from the Migration Period, silver pendants from the Viking Age, glittering reliquaries from the Middle Ages, and other amazing objects.
In a fire in a church in Eskilstuna, a so-called Man of Sorrows was severely damaged. At the same time, the flames gave the sculpture a beauty entirely its own. Experience the fire-damaged sculpture in an exhibition together with other objects, photographs, and woodcuts. On view 5 February - 30 August, 2026.
