Art on a rainy day in Stockholm

Stockholm's weather can be unpredictable, but a rainy day is an excellent opportunity to see art. With a little planning you can stay dry almost all day.

Choose one area

The smartest approach is to choose exhibitions close to each other. Nationalmuseum and Moderna Museet are just a few minutes' walk apart, and ArkDes is also on Skeppsholmen. Kulturhuset at Sergels torg is right by T-Centralen.

Take the metro

The metro isn't just dry – it's full of art too. Many stations have exits close to museums and galleries, so you avoid long walks in the rain.

Plan breaks

Most larger museums have cafés or restaurants, making it easy to stay a long time and take a break without going outside.

Mind the crowds

A rainy weekend draws many people to museums. Go early in the day or pick a weekday if you can. Smaller galleries are often quieter.

Use the map

On Stockholm Art Scene you can see every exhibition on a map. Choose today's date to see what's on and which venues are close together – and get directions instantly.
