Museums in Sweden

The names listed for a museum are those used on the page to which the link is made. If official Swedish and English designations are not indicated there, translations have been provided in a form intended to be maximally useful for the Virtual Library museum search facility. The descriptions of the individual museums are also primarily intended to serve the same purpose.

A large number of Swedish museum employees have e-mail accounts on host systems which are a part of the Swedish University Network (SUNET). These e-mail addresses are listed in SUNET's X.500 database. You may search the X.500 database for the names of both institutions and individuals.
