The Performing Arts Museum at Sibyllegatan 2 in Stockholm explores theatre, music and other performing arts through exhibitions and hands-on activities. Follow the displays on how costumes move from an idea to the stage, then see garments on display. Children can try scene clothes, play drums and keyboards, explore the puppet theatre and join workshops to make masks or instruments. The museum is compact, so rooms can feel busy when several people gather in one area. Its interactive exhibits make it a good choice for families and anyone curious about performance.
Exhibits you can explore
The museum covers different parts of the performing arts, including theatre, costumes and music. Videos follow the creative process behind a costume, from the first ideas through its construction and use in a performance to the finished garment on display.
The music area lets visitors play instruments such as drums and keyboards, and listen to different sounds. Interactive displays give you ways to engage with the exhibits rather than only viewing them.
Activities for children
