National Museum
This sober 19th-century building on the waterfront contains a good range of Western art, including paintings by Cranach, Rembrandt, Rubens, Boucher, Goya, Renoir, Degas and Gauguin.
It is also a good place to see excellent work by notable Swedish artists such as Carl Larsson, Ernst Josephson, Carl Fredrik Hill and Anders Zorn.
In addition, the museum has a fine collection of decorative arts and industrial design (glass, ceramics, textiles, jewellery, furniture, housewares) – which are, of course, a strong and highly influential feature of modern Swedish culture.
