The Medieval Museum beneath Norrbro is currently closed due to relocation. But even though we don't have our own exhibition space at the moment, the Medieval Museum is full of life!

The new Medieval Museum will be located in the Börshuset at Stortorget in the Old Town. We don’t yet know when the grand opening will be, but in the meantime, we have a lot to offer!
