Of all the wonderful museums to go and see in the city of Stockholm one of the nicest is the Stockholm Observatory Museum. This great museum is not only a museum but it is also the headquarters for the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The Stockholm Observatory Museum is way up on a hill and once was used as an observatory before becoming a museum. This great observatory was made back in the 1740’s and is a very important piece of history to the city of Stockholm and its scientists.
If you go and visit the Stockholm Observatory Museum during the months of winter then you will be able to look through the telescope. There are also guided tours available of the observatory and museum, which will tell you all about the science and history behind the place. There are tours in English available; although to get this for certain you must book your trip ahead of time.
