The Maritime Museum was located in the vicinity of other museums and one of them is Etnografiska Museum which is also free, hence, why I am there. Haha! The other museums are not free. There was a Police Museum which I thought would be cool to visit but I was not ready to invest monies for museum visits. I have done for 1 musuem - Langholmen Prison Museum, and I think that is sufficient for now.
The Museum of Ethnography (Swedish: Etnografiska Museet), in Stockholm, Sweden, is a Swedish science museum. It houses a collection of about 220,000 items relating to the ethnography, or cultural anthropology, of peoples from around the world, including from China, Korea, South and Southeast Asia, the Pacific region, the Americas and Africa.

The Museum of Ethnography opened in 1900, but its collections date all the way back tp the natural history cabinets of the 17th century. The museum also features objects that were collected during 18th century expeditions, as well as the results of the 19th century's round-the-world sailing trips and Sven Hedin's expeditions in the early 20th century.

I liked this museum better than Maritime Museum, though. It has a wide collection of items from around the world and they are very fascinating.
