Stockholm, Sweden's Vasa Museum is a marine museum. The museum, located on the island of Djurgrden, has the only almost entirely intact 17th-century ship ever rescued, the 64-gun battleship Vasa, which sunk on her maiden voyage in 1628. The Vasa Museum, which opened in 1990, is the most visited museum in Scandinavia, according to its official website. It is part of the Swedish National Maritime Museums, together with other museums such as the Stockholm Maritime Museum (SNMM).

The new museum is dominated by a huge copper ceiling with stylized masts representing Vasa's true height when fully rigged. Parts of the structure are coated with a dark red, blue, tar-black, ochre yellow, and dark green painted wooden panels. The inside is also done similarly, with extensive portions of raw, unpainted concrete, including the whole ceiling. The ship may be seen from six different perspectives inside the museum, from the bottom to the very top of the sterncastle. Throughout the ship, there are several exhibits and replicas depicting the ship's construction, sinking, location, and recovery. There are other displays that provide background information on the ship's construction and the history of Sweden in the 17th century.

ABBA: The Museum is a Swedish interactive display of the musical band ABBA that premiered in May 2013 in Stockholm, Sweden. The works of ABBA are shown in a modern, interactive environment at Djurgrden in Stockholm. ABBA Despite its name, the Museum is not a museum because it has no collections, does not do research, and is for business. It is not affiliated with the Swedish ICOM or the Riksförbundet Sveriges museer.

ABBA: The Museum is a relatively new addition to Stockholm's incredible museum scene, and it has drawn tourists from all over the world — and for good reason. You may not only 'perform' with Benny, Björn, Agnetha, and Anni-Frid, but also record a song, create a video, marvel at the extravagant costumes, and understand how the ultimate pop supergroup got their start and finally came together. The Swedish Music Hall of Fame, which is attached to the Abba Museum and takes you on an interactive trip through modern Swedish music, is an extra treat.

The Swedish Air Force Museum is housed in Malmen Airbase in Malmslätt, Sweden, just outside of Linköping. In 1912, Baron Carl Cederström dubbed the "Flyer Baron", established his flying school in Malmen. The Royal Swedish Air school operates SAAB 105 (SK60), jet trainers, from Malmen Airbase.

A German-built Junkers Ju 86 twin-engined bomber (the only one left in the world), as well as a diverse range of British, American, Italian, and Swedish-made aircraft (among others), demonstrate the variety of types flown by the Swedish Air Force, which includes aircraft from every stage of Swedish military aviation. A notable exhibition piece from World War I is an Albatros B.IIa (Sk 1 or 2) trainer, as well as Nieuport and Bréguet combat aircraft. All significant post-war service aircraft are on display, from the 1950s Saab J 29 "Flying Barrel" fighter to the modern 4th generation multirole fighter JAS 39 Gripen.

The Nationalmuseum (or National Museum of Fine Arts) is Sweden's national gallery, located in central Stockholm on the peninsula Blasieholmen. The national museum's operations extend well beyond the boundaries of Blasieholmen; it manages the National Portrait Gallery collection at Gripshom, the Gustavsbergporclain museum, a few castle collections, and the Swedish Institute in Paris (Institut Tessin). Nationalmuseum Jamtli opened in stersund in the summer of 2018 to display a portion of the collection in the north of Sweden.

The current structure, which was constructed between 1844 and 1866, was influenced by North Italian Renaissance architecture. It was created by German architect Friedrich August Stüler, who also designed Berlin's Neues Museum. The rather tight façade belies the enormous interior, which is dominated by a massive flight of steps going up to the uppermost galleries.

In 1961, the museum was expanded to house the museum workshops. The current restaurant opened in 1996. The museum closed for renovations in 2013 and reopened on October 13, 2018. The $132 million renovations aimed to showcase more of the museum's collection while also matching the security, accessibility, fire safety, and temperature control of a modern institution.
