Follow a collection-focused walk through Stockholm, moving from modern and contemporary art to national collections, historic interiors, design, photography and popular music. You will encounter museums and galleries that present art, objects, ideas and stories in sharply different ways. The route is worth taking for its variety: each stop changes the scale, mood or subject of what you are looking at. Bring your curiosity and allow time to pause over both celebrated works and unexpected details.
