3/8/26 Nordic Museum

 


    Today we're off to the Nordic Museum , we walked past here on the way to the Vasa Museum the other day . The roof is different .


This is the end of the museum building 


The main entrance doors are impressive .



King Gustav Vasa dominates the area just inside the doors , looking down at you from his pedestal .


Each wing extends out from the entry doors , massive ceilings above are tricking you , thinking you are looking at the sky - it's a projection .


Going up the stairs at the end we start at the top and work our way down . The view down the stair well is interesting .


The display starts way back when life was simply but hard , working it's way through time . Displays are good . These are made from the bark of the Birch tree


A sewing machine from well back , still working and hand driven .


We worked our way down through the exhibits and down to ground floor , looking back at the other end . The rocking horses almost look like giants .


The day was over again and we made our way back to the house . Later in the evening the deer that we saw the other day was back , and she brought her family with her , this young one was enjoying having a play with mum in the back yard . Mums the blurry bit to the right of junior . Must have wanted to say goodbye to us , as we leave tomorrow .
