Children's Museum at the National Museum

Viking objects, mummies and the children's area make this a much easier history stop than the building suggests.

Large city models and everyday objects make it easier for kids to understand how the place changed over time.

Huge sculptures and brightly painted rooms give kids something big and visual to focus on.

The buffet is useful with kids because they can take tiny amounts of pasta, salads and vegetables until something works.

Cannons, armor and military equipment give kids lots of big physical objects to look at instead of tiny things in cases.

Shrunken heads, strange objects and visual tricks make this better for older kids who enjoy gross and bizarre things.
