Christmas at Nordiska museet
From the first Sunday of Advent, our imposing Christmas tree is decorated in the Grand Hall, and the museum is beautifully adorned. We are open every day, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
Christmas Cosiness Every Day
Experience the building in its festive atmosphere, get creative with crafts, buy Christmas decorations, and enjoy some Christmas cosiness with Advent treats. Explore our exhibitions and peek into the dolls’ houses, lit by the glow of the Christmas tree. The Nordiska museet is open every day, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
In the Museum Shop and webbshop, you’ll find sustainable Christmas gifts and seasonal classics, including candle holders, angel chimes and textile craft kits. Don’t miss the second-hand corner, Artur’s Bazaar. In the restaurant and Café Lusknäppen, you can take a break and enjoy Advent treats, Christmas platters, mulled wine, and hot apple cider.
The most stylish Christmas tree in town?
Every year, our magnificent tree, eight meters tall, stands decorated in the Grand Hall at the Nordic Museum. It features hundreds of traditional, handmade, and unique decorations from the museum’s hidden gems. Each year, we invite a special guest to add their own touch to the tree with personal decorations.
A Textile Craftsmanship Christmas 2024
Our guest decorator for Christmas 2024 is Swedish textile artist Lina Odell, a journeyman in costume tailoring. Lina’s work spans freely between art, traditional craftsmanship, and innovation.
Lina Odell honours women who have enriched the Nordic region through textile art with her fabric roses featuring portraits of textile artists and craftspeople. Throughout history, textile craftsmanship has been a necessity for people in the Nordic countries, yet the individuals behind tapestries, rag rugs, sweaters, and bridal covers are often unknown or invisible.
“This tree is a tribute to them. Here, they get to sparkle and shine alongside the splendour of Christmas,” says Lina Odell.
