Day 6

We woke up at about 10AM because we were all so tired from yesterday's trip! (I shouldn't be complaining, it was Nicole who drove.)
 So far, Stockholm seems like a pretty cool place! We're about to go to the Swedish Museum of Natural History! Sounds fun!

 So we just got back from the museum, and I have time to write before we go out to eat. Its already mid afternoon! The museum was absolutely incredible, let me tell you little bit of what we learned:

 

The Swedish Museum of Natural History, or Naturhistoriska riksmuseet, is one of two major museums of natural history in Sweden, the other  in Gothenburg. (AKA: The Universeum, which we went to!)

It was founded in 1819 but the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, but has records of collections from 1739 from earlier donations. The original collections were made available to the public in 1786, but the museum separated from the Academy in 1965. So, its super old!

The museum also had an IMAX cinema called Cosmonova. The cinema is also the largest planetarium in Sweden, and it was AWESOME!

Did I mention how big and beautiful this place is? It was designed by architect Axel Anderberg and completed in 1916, topped with a dome; the main campus of Stockholm University was later built next to the museum. None of us could get over the ancient beauty this place held!

This was our first official day in Stockholm, and the city turned out to be magnificent. We then left the museum at 5PM, after staying there since noon, so 5 hours overall! We went back to the hotel and stayed there for about an hour, then went out to dinner. We're going to a fancy Swedish later, so we'll tell you all about that when the time comes, but for now, we are all super tired and REALLY need to sleep. We have a HUGE day ahead of us tomorrow!
