You're standing at the Nordic Museum, the Nordiska museet, on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm. Look at the building first. It's made of brick and granite, in a Renaissance style that doesn't come from Sweden at all but from Denmark, with Dutch influences. Think of a castle like Frederiksborg. It's often called cathedral-like, and you can see why.
