Nationalmuseum is not only Sweden’s largest art museum. In itself, the building is a striking feature of the Stockholm cityscape. Its architectural design, modelled on that of Florentine and Venetian Renaissance buildings, evokes Italy - the home of the fine arts. The history of the collections dates back to the 16th century.
