The Museum of Medieval Stockholm will open with a totally new exhibiton on January 24th at 2 pm. The museum has been closed for two years due to renovations. The museum, which is a part of Old Town describes the emergence and medieval development of the town and is built up round some of the permanent heritage monuments which came to light during the archaeological excavations on Helgeandsholmen (The Island of the Holy Spirit) between 1978 and 1980.

The display area comprises 1,750 square metres and there are some 850 objects on display. The objects come from the whole of the town area.
