The Vasa Museum & the National Maritime Museum opens up again!

We are so happy that more and more museums are starting to open up here at Royal Djurgården again. Next up is the National Maritime Museum and the Vasa Museum. Followed by ABBA The Museum and the Amusement Park Gröna Lund.

Since October 30 last year, the National Maritime Museum has only offered digital visits. But from May 18, the museum will reopen and welcomes visitors again. A new exhibition, The Collectors, has taken place inside the museum while it has been closed. The Collectors is about people who have passionately collected and systematised objects, pictures and facts about ships, boats, and shipping. In order to make your visit as safe and secure as possible the museum has taken several precautions. The number of visitors allowed into the museum will be restricted. The café will also be opend but with limited seats. Find out more about the National Maritime Museum’s opening here.

The Vasa Museum is also getting ready to reopen after being closed for 200 days. The museum opens its doors to visitors on Wednesday May 19 with security – and joy – in focus.

250 visitors will be allowed inside the museum at the same time. Each visitor will have plenty of space and it will be easy to keep distance from others. At the same time, it is possible to get close to the ship and get a magnificent experience of Vasa. The staff will be back and have answers to all your questions and to help out. They will unfortunately not hold any guided tours to avoid crowding. Audio guides in many different languages are available for free download and can be listened to on your own smart phone or tablet. The museum, the museum shop and the Vasa museum’s restaurant will be open every day of the week. Find out more about the Vasa Museum’s opening here.

On May 27 it is also time for ABBA The Museum to opens its doors to visitors again, after being closed since November last year. From the opening date, the museum will be open Thursdays to Sundays, with the ambition to extend the opening days in July. Find out more here.

Gröna Lund Amusement Park will also finally open on 2 June. Before you visit Gröna Lund this year, you will need to pre-book tickets. When you buy your ticket online, you first choose a visit date and then if you want to arrive in the morning or afternoon. Super easy! And the best thing about that, with fewer guests, they can offer shorter queues and larger areas. Yay! Find out more information here. 

The Museum of Ethnography, Junibacken, Nordiska museet, Skansen, The Skansen Aquarium, Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde, the Museum of Spirits, Tekniska museet, the Thiel Gallery and Rosendal’s Garden are also open and welcomes you. And don’t worry about going hungry; almost all of Djurgården’s restaurants are open as well.
