Anyway, back to the Museum. Considering its totally free price, it was excellent. It is suitable for both adults and children and the exhibits were interesting, even if you have no knowledge or interest in anything nautical. The highlight for is the end part of a ship once owned by the King of Sweden years and years ago. (It's like a mini-Vasa for free!). From there, you enter a room full of model ships, as well as costumes, weapons, sailing equipment etc. For children, there is a great modern exhibit about shipping and where different goods come from. There is also an interesting tattoo exhibit about sailors tattoos that will be running for the next few months. The museum has good English information signposted on everything - except for the tattoo exhibit, which was a little disappointing.

The Maritime Museum is located on the no.69 bus route a short distance from the city, near a TV tower with a viewing point of Stockholm. It is also located beside other unusual museums , such as the Ethnography museum and the Police Museum. These other ones aren't free, but they are cheaper than the usual 100kr. Finally, it's called 'Sjöhistoriska' in Swedish.
