#60 Absolut Spirit Museum Stockholm

A museum about vodka you say? Well, not exactly. The Absolut sponsored museum features some artworks and paintings  that show the Absolut bottle, some insightful poems about alcohol, and a few interactive type exhibits. It is quite small and does not include any free shots, but it's not bad.

 Very random feature 
 Alcohol trees?

There were some. . .poems? I'm not sure if that's what they were, but anyway they made some interesting comments on alcohol use. There were also things that you could spray to give you the smell of things used in alcohol such as elderflower or liquorice which was fun!



They also had a button you could press which showed how alcohol was made, and a "hangover room" which was disappointing - you enter a little room that looks like a bedroom or something, lights flicker, and you listen to someone complaining they have a headache and call in sick to work.

There was a video room where you could lie down and watch as someone went from being sober to really drunk, which was nice. Also, there was a temporary exhibition on liquorice, but since I hate the smell and taste I didn't spend much time in there. 


So for 100kr this museum probably isn't the best value, and if you only have a limited time (or budget) I would recommend you visit somewhere else. But it is quite interesting, and it fills in some time if you want! It is located on Djurgarden, beside the Vasa museum.
