Polismuseet
About

Polismuseet, Stockholm’s Police Museum, offers a thought-provoking look into the evolution of law enforcement in Sweden. Located in Östermalm, the museum traces the history of the Swedish police from the 1850s to today, with exhibitions that explore uniforms, vehicles, forensic techniques, and the role of police in a democratic society. Visitors can examine crime scene reconstructions, learn about hate crimes and media portrayals, and reflect on how policing has adapted to social change. A dedicated children’s area invites young guests to dress up, solve mock cases, and explore a traffic playground with pedal cars. The museum balances historical insight with interactive learning, making it accessible and engaging for all ages. With its blend of education, reflection, and hands-on experiences, Polismuseet encourages visitors to consider the complex relationship between law, justice, and community.
