National Museum in Stockholm

I went to the National museum today.  It has free admission except for the featured exhibit.  Needless to say, i didn't see the featured exhibit.  There was a very long line to get into the museum. I almost didn't stay but decided to see how fast the line was moving.  It moved pretty quickly and I got in in got in in about 20 minutes.  I was glad I waited.

I enjoyed the exhibits.  Some were very old, 1400's old.  There were lots of paintings, which I really liked.  This one was my favourite.


There were also many statues and busts



Here are some other pictures I took.



This one was from the travelling exhibit which was very modern.  It wasn't much to my liking.  This is an example of the exhibits.



On the way home, I found some new subway art done in the tiles of the walls.  The last one is coloured glass mosaic. 







It was a great day.  The sun was actually shining for the second day in a row.  I went for a walk before the  museum, just to enjoy it.  The temperature here has been warmer than Windsor lately, just hovering around zero, plus or minus a degree or 2.  Really not that bad for a northern winter.  Mind you they tell me the cold is yet to come.

Have a great week.
