Pushchairs

We value the safety and comfort of our visitors in the building. Pushchairs cannot be brought into the museum due to the risk of crowding in the exhibitions and safety concerns during a possible evacuation. However, we offer a large covered pushchair parking area directly adjacent to the museum. A few pushchair locks and baby carriers are also available for borrowing at the reception. Welcome inside!

Toilets and Changing Facilities

Large accessible toilets and changing tables are available at the café and in the cloakroom on the ground floor, in the Aquarium (level 0), and at the dining area (level 3).

Assistance Dogs

Assistance dogs are allowed on the premises. Other pets are not permitted.

Bring Your Own Food

There are tables, chairs, and a microwave available for use on level 3.

Lifts

Spacious lifts are available to all floors.

Wheelchairs

Our exhibitions and public spaces are accessible to wheelchairs and mobility scooters; we have occasional very low thresholds and generally ample space for turning and meeting. However, in the “Sea of Stories” exhibition on level 2, some passages may feel narrow. Wheelchairs are welcome in our children’s exhibitions where there is otherwise a ban on shoes and pushchairs, applicable to both children and adults using wheelchairs. A wheelchair is also available for loan.

Cloakroom

Cloakrooms and lockers are available on the ground floor and in the Aquarium on the lower level. No tokens are needed for the lockers. If there is a key in the locker, it means the locker is available.

In front of the building, there is a disabled parking area for 30 minutes. At the old entrance (on the left side of the museum as seen from Karl Johansgatan), there is an additional disabled parking area without time restrictions.
