Museum Of Mediterranean In Addition To Well-Nigh Eastern Antiquities

Stockholm, amongst over 85 museums, has 1 of the world's highest museum per capita ratios. From modern fine art to postage stamp stamps in addition to from Viking history to alcoholic spirits... at that spot genuinely is a museum for every interest. You would intend that I must convey already visited all 85+ museums, but at that spot are all the same many of the smaller museums that I haven't been to yet. Bad Concierge! So, every bit my New Year's resolution, I volition last attempting to catch to a greater extent than of these museums inwards Stockholm  (and hence writing nigh them here).
First upwards is Medelhavsmuseet (Museum of Mediterranean in addition to Near Eastern Antiquities) which is business office of the group National Museums of World Culture in Sweden, which also includes the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in addition to Museum of Ethnography amidst others. This museum, every bit the get upwards suggests, is dedicated to the ancient history of the cultures surrounding the Mediterranean in addition to inwards the Middle East... Greek, Roman, Estrucean, Phoenician, Egyptian, Assyrian in addition to more. Obviously, this museum doesn't convey the range or size of similar, larger museums inwards Rome, Cairo, Athens or fifty-fifty London (British Museum). But it is definitely worth a visit, specially if y'all are interested inwards this plain of report thing in addition to convey gotten your fill upwards of Vikings, Vasa in addition to ABBA.
The museum has a small, permanent collection of Ancient Greek in addition to Roman art... including around impressive busts in addition to painted amphorae every bit good every bit gilded jewelry. I convey been to many museums dedicated to Ancient Hellenic Republic in addition to Rome in addition to I don't always intend I convey seen such a good preserved golden laurel wreath before.
This season's exhibition is dedicated to the isle of Cyprus, which was quite a crossroad for many cultures. What makes this exhibition specially interesting, inwards my opinion, is its connectedness amongst Sweden... almost all of the artifacts on display come upwards from Swedish Republic of Cyprus Expedition, which took house inwards the belatedly 1920's. The expedition excavated at over twenty locations across the isle in addition to made around terrific discoveries. This collection is genuinely the largest 1 of its sort exterior of Cyprus.
The museum's exhibition on Ancient Arab Republic of Egypt is unopen during the wintertime for renovations & rehanging in addition to volition opened upwards inwards the spring, bigger in addition to ameliorate than before. Guess I volition convey to revisit then! As this is a smaller museum, the entrance toll is less than at other museums (only sixty SEK for adults, complimentary amongst the Stockholm Card). It is centrally located inwards the downtown expanse close the Royal Opera House. To larn at that spot from the Rival Hotel, it is either a 25 infinitesimal stroll through Gamla Stan or else an slow 10 infinitesimal jitney ride.
