Before we leave Stockholm, I have two more museums to review. I have combined them into one post because I don't think I will spend long writing about either. This isn't because they were horrible. Rather, it's because I feel kind of neutral and wasn't quite sure what to write about. On that note, Fotografiska … Continue reading Fotografiska & Hallwyl Museums

Nordic History Museum
Today was our final day in Stockholm. I have absolutely adored this city and will be sad to say goodbye tomorrow. There is no doubt, however, that I will return and perhaps enjoy the city in summer.
