Contained within the royal palace, Royal Armory represents the country's oldest museum and houses a vast collection of objects and artifacts from Swedish military and royalty history. King Gustavus Adolphus founded the museum in 1628 to preserve his costumes from a campaign in Poland. Since then, thousands of items have been added to this impressive collection. You'll experience Swedish history through the remnants of the country’s past, including belongings of kings and queens dating back to the 15th century. The site houses 17th-century coaches, robes from royal weddings, and blood-stained attire from historic battles, such as the tunic that Gustav II Adolph was wearing when he was killed.

A nice museum with well preserved weapons, clothes, wagons and even a leftover of a several hundred years horse. It's free entrance, and a perfect place for a history buff like me. Good information...

The museum is not huge, but it's free, and definitely worth the time you spend there. Several very unique objects.

Super interesting and well curated museum. Plus it’s free! We followed the guided tour in English, which was wonderful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history behind the items and added so much context to the exhibitions which made it all the more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend you to take the tour if you get a chance to go.

A great and FREE museum that highlights the attire and artifacts of Swedish royalty through the ages. Along with thoughtful displays in Swedish and English, you get a high quality overview of the country itself. Along with royal carriages and sleds you get a great view on royal life.

This is a good small museum of the Royal Armoury and costume royal family and more. If you understand swedish a little you can take an audio guide. I really like dresses and little golden mice everywhere ( like a game for children and adults to find all of them). Also you can see an old carriage in a basement with beautiful horses! I love it! So please take the time and check this place, you need 40-60 minutes for that!

Hard to believe this treasure filled museum is free!!! An amazing array of costumes, royal collections, weapons, knights’ armour, carriages and plenty of history explained in chronological order about the Swedish Royal Family. If you choose not to visit the Royal Palace (which is very expensive), this more than covers it! Don’t miss this museum. Take your time and travel back into history.
