The National Sports Museum of Sweden, known in Swedish as Riksidrottsmuseum, presents Swedish sports from ancient times to today. Its exhibits include the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm and sports stars of today. The museum also covers the fascination of sport and its downsides. Visitors can try different sports activities and challenge themselves or others in competitive activities. Films of sporting highlights and old reviews are shown, and radio commentaries can be heard.

The exhibits span past and present: the 1912 Games are part of the story of Swedish sport, alongside current sports stars and the less positive sides of sport. The museum’s shop sells games, activities, gifts and books for all ages. Its products have themes including the body, mind, diet, play and health. The café offers hot and cold drinks, organic juices and ice cream, so visitors can also take a break between the exhibits and activities.
