    Amazing small museum with great exhibitions from Mediterranean area. Staff was very kind and English speaking. The Bagdad caffe is for sure the incredible addition to the hotel. The price of 140 SEK for 3 museums is just the deal you have to take it. Great job done.

    I like this place, they have so many interesting expositions. The most interesting part is that of Egypt, nothing to envy to other museums. Although I think it is temporary, there is an exhibition of football "Ultras" barras bravas. Admission is free.

    Cool museum. Some really interesting archaeological items on display. It was free to visit and the lady let us keep our suitcases behind the desk. There were also lockers to put our jackets away, free of charge too. The Egyptian section was extremely interesting, with a wide array of mummified animals, and even a small child displayed. There are also a few interactive screens.

    Interesting museum with exhibitions from countries around the Mediterranean. It is not very big it travels you many years back in time.

    A great experience. Too bad that it will become a paid museum in 2023

    A very nice museum that is free to enter and explore. Located in Central Stockholm, it is host to artifacts from Cyprus and Egypt. There is a mummy in the lower floor and a digital interface where you can explore it layer by layer which is super cool! There is also an amazing cafe on the first floor!

    This a great museum and was free when visited in December 2022. Although small it has lots of really interesting items on display as well as a really well stocked shop and toilets on the ground floor. Egyptian exhibition in basement is great. The first floor has an excellent cafe with a lovely atmosphere, great cakes, tea and coffee with views of the place outside. Definitely worth a visit and don't miss out on the cafe.

    Sprawling, detailed and free. Definitely worth a visit even if you only have a passing interest in antiquities or Egypt.

    It was a fascinating experience to visit this museum. Here we have a view of many archeological artifacts that belongs to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Especially, the museum displays mummified human and animals as well. They also have a small place for us to see the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphs and play around with it.

    The collection is not very big in comparison to the big museums in Europe but the presentation and information are very nice.

    The Swedish version of the British Museum, with Cyprus’s version of the Chinese Terra-cotta Warriors on display, from Ayia Irini archaeological digs by the Swedish Mission last century, important to the Cypriot history rhetoric as the Parthenon Marbles are to the Greeks. A well laid out museum, quiet and totally worthy of a visit to break the Swedish monotony on offer for tourists.

    Another great museum. Whether you want to do a deep dive, or just take a quick pitstop, this museum's exhibits are well worth a visit. The gift shop is large, and has a lot of genuinely cool keepsakes to purchase.

    A mega museum well worth visiting even the building is fancy

  • 4/5 Sienna X. 10 months ago on Google • 58 reviews
    The museum has a limited collection but whatever they do have is well curated, especially the Egyptian collection, which was easily my favourite section. It was immersive and had a very intuitive orientation to the layout of displays. They have a few sarcophagi and mummies, including an interactive panel where you can see the contents of the tomb in layers. The Goldroom was a bit of a letdown as it was a bit small, but I think some shifts in display aesthetics could really show it off. The Cypriotic artefacts were quite comprehensive and interesting, the Greek/Roman selection seemed a bit tokenisitic given the range. All in all, worth a visit if you're in the area, a cozy and pleasant museum with polite staff.

    Loved it. Amazingly it didn't show up in any tourist guide. Way better than more famous archeology museums in other contries. Don't you miss this spot if you are into archeology.

    The Egyptian section is the main attraction. The amount of content around their mummy exhibit alone is worth the price of admission. If you come be sure to buy the annual ticket. It’s the same price and will cover you for a return trip if you come back in the next year. It also covers 2 other museums in the city.

    What a lovely museum! So many things to see and really loved all the ancient artefacts that they had on display. I would highly recommend to pay a visit at the coffee store which is located on the first floor of the museum.

    Awesome, reminded me of Cairo

  • 5/5 Juan Rivero H. 3 years ago on Google
    I was literally passing by and I read free entrance and the surprise was astonishing. I loved the museum and there was not too many people so it made it very enjoyable.

    Interesting museum, my 11 year old son really liked it

  • 5/5 Jacek M. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic museum, tons of exhibitions with very high quality items. Great descriptions and stories. We were here with 7yo daughter and she was very interested, asked us about many things to translate. The price was high but it was worth it

    Amazing free museum. Lots of old Egypt stuff. Great shop. Good location. Just an amazing experience.

  • 3/5 Desiree E. 9 months ago on Google
    Good museum for adults, but boring for kids. Should have a part where the kids could investigate stuffs, like a sandbox their they could find the stuffs in that make them more interested at the real stuffs. It costs 140:- for a ticket that is daily or yearly. Weird that it's the same price for both. Was a free museum before so it's weird that they didn't inform about it.

  • 5/5 Deniz S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiques. You can find Egypt, Cyprus, Greek, Roman pieces and some more. It is free entrance.

  • 4/5 Jonas A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice exhibitions eventhough the place is quite small. They've got a crafting space that is fun for the kids.

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 11 months ago on Google
    I came to the museum to meet a group at the Bagdad Cafe, and toured the museum briefly after the meeting. The collection stopped me in my tracks several times. The artifacts are impressive and displayed beautifully, with more accompanying contextual info than you could give the proper attention in anything less than half a day. I'm looking forward to a longer visit.

    This is a free museum. The exhibits are well laid out, lots of information is provided to accompany the displays. Very informative! There is a toilet, as well as coat and locker room. There is also a store on site. Highly recommend during a visit to Stockholm!

    A small yet detailed sample of finds and acquisitions from Cyprus, Egypt and other Mediterranean sites. Entry currently free! Café also worth a visit.

  • 5/5 elianne k. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice Mediterranean region displays with English translations. The ultras exhibition is quite informative and enlightening.

  • 5/5 Alba L. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice and interactive museum in the heart of the city. We were greeted by a very friendly member of staff that explained everything to us and where to find each area etc. They have a small but very interesting collection of various civilisations (mainly Egyptian) and the entrance is free. The café inside, on the upper floor, is also very nice and they even offer a vegan option for lunch which was very appreciated!

  • 5/5 Happy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing museum with real mummies from Egypt and even costumes to dress up as Egyptians for free! It's not very big so you won't need to set aside too much time. But definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Ben M. 2 years ago on Google
    Small but nicely curated museum. Informative with everything translated to English and very nice collection especially the Egypt section. Also all for free. Shop is also quite nice with interesting books on the different areas. I've been a few times over the years as it is a nice place to wander around when quiet.
