We only had a short time to visit this wondrous site and next time we certainly will not be so thrifty with our time. It's magnificent and free! If you're visiting the Royal Palace and parliament building you'll just have to head to the basement and look upon these wondrous exhibits. The suits of armor for men and horses are spectacular! The finer of King and Queen robes and gowns is unworldly and there is even the actually tunic worn by King Gustavus Adolphus when he was killed at the Battle of Lützen! Oh, and the handkerchief that held the King's bloody heart long after death....wow! Splendid costumes and glittering carriages tell stories of magnificent royal coronations, weddings, and funerals. Learn about Streiff, the horse belonging to Gustav II Adolf. See Karl XII’s muddy blue uniform from 1718 and the clothing Gustav III wore to the masquerade ball of 1792.

The Swedish maritime museum has a number of classic exhibitions, covering the maritime history from many aspects. Merchant ships from viking age to now, maritime technology, naval ships, etc. models, items, drawings, lots of audio guides: all work together in a fantastic building. Many fun activities for kids if all ages, but without transforming the place into an amusement park like the nearby Tekniska museet science museum. Clean restrooms and excellent facilities for families, basic but decent cafè with moderate pricing. One flaw might be that the exhibition of naval history is a bit Stockholm centric, in that the naval center Karlskrona is not even mentioned (in spite if its importance). You may also note that Gothenburg, the epicenter of Swedish merchant shipping, is very rarely referred to. These are merely small details. The overall experience is excellent and the museum is well worth a visit. Did I mention that the entrance is free?! Parking nearby, 2€/h. The bus no 69 stops right outside.
