Moderna Museet
Stockholm's museum of modern art is headed by Lars Nittve, formerly of London's Tate Modern. These museums have several works by famous artists - Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Salvador Dalí and Irving Penn, an American photographer. Although its Stockholm counterpart might not have as vast a collection, there is still enough to satisfy both the modern art buff as well as the curious amateur. Also, the building, by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, is a sight in itself. Admission 80 kr (60 kr reduced price).
World-class collection of modern art, free for the main collection and paid for temporary ones. There are also several outdoor sculptures in the park around the museum.
Formerly a naval church, this is today a concert hall, mainly used by the many choirs in Stockholm.
