Autumn Art Exhibitions

After writing about autumn sightseeing options, I guess I should also write about all the different art museum exhibitions this coming season! Stockholm has a large amount of museums (80+) covering all types of subjects like art, science, history, sports, theatre and culture. This list will cover exhibitions at art museums... click here if you want a list with description over the top history museums in Stockholm.
