Sweden's Nationalmuseum in Stockholm
Sweden’s Nationalmuseum is one of my favorite buildings in Stockholm. It holds special memories (a piece of art that’s connected to my family). So, this visit, we wanted to spend at least one day walking throughout the entire museum.
While that special piece of art wasn’t on display this visit, it made me so grateful that its history has been a part of my past visits.
We had another special reason to go to the Nationalmuseum: a certain someone’s birthday was in need of some more celebration. However, the only vegan + gluten-free food on the menu was this.
And this.
Craving a healthy meal, and with Stockholm usually our plant-based mecca, we were not prepared for so few options in the new cafe. But we survived. =)
With the recent renovation under the museum’s belt (thus, a long closure), I was so happy to see this atrium again.
It once held the cafe. It now holds art. Plus sweet expressions.
The gift shop is just off the atrium, another favorite place to linger. One can sit and look through the most incredible books (I think we browsed for an hour).
Upstairs, the galleries were organized by the centuries. It would be amazing to go back in time to exactly this.
Where beautiful history floats by.
Greeting us as if we are greeting them.
Always making it difficult for this visit to end.
