Delve into the darker side of human nature at Armémuseum, where three levels of en-
grossing exhibitions explore the horrors of war through art, weaponry and life-size recon-

Sweden's largest art museum, home to the nation's collection of painting, sculpture, draw-

MUSEUM
Fredsgatan 12; adult/child Skr100/free; 10am-6pm, to 8pm Tue & Thu)
While the Nationalmuseum is closed for renovations, highlights and temporary exhibitions
from the collection will be displayed here, in the smaller but very lovely Konstakademien
building. The museum has thousands of works to choose from, including painting and
sculpture, design objects, prints and drawings from late medieval to current times, so the
temporary space is well worth looking into.
The temporary exhibits are well conceived and entertaining. A recent exhibition of high-
lights from the collection was organised around the theme of the 'selfie', tracing a line from
a Rembrandt self-portrait to today's obsession with the likes of Instagram.
