Modern art and nice views
Moderna Museet is the leading modern art museum in the Nordic Countries, and it is worth the walk from the city if you have a few hours to spend with culture. The museum is located a couple of kilometers out of the city centre, on a beautiful Skeppsholm island that is a destination itself. It is easy walk and takes about 20 minutes from T-Centralen, but there are also public transports available (ferry and bus), and you can always take a taxi.
The collections themselves are pretty standard fare, you can find Picassos, Dalís, and Matisses there among with the local modernists. The exhibitions can be outstanding or then about someone that you’ve never heard ever before (and chances are that you won’t hear again…).
