Facts about the Swedish Museum of Natural History
The Swedish Museum of Natural History is a state authority and Sweden's largest museum. We want to increase knowledge about nature and inspire responsibility for our world.

The natural history collections contain more than 11 million plants, animals, fungi, environmental samples, minerals and fossils. The collections are the basis for research and exhibitions where our ambition is to be world-class. For visitors, there are several permanent exhibitions and the dome cinema Cosmonova, which shows films in the world's largest film format, IMAX.
