Stockholm is great.

The Moderna Museet is extremely worthwhile visiting.

Before going, pick up a copy of "Time Out/Stockholm" for leads on galleries, shopping, getting around, etc.  The map is helpful, as well.

Believe it or not, good currency exchange bureaus are situated in department stores.

There are at least two good auction houses in Stockholm, Bukowski's and Stockholms Auktionsverk.

Hasselblad is based in Sweden, but I don't know if they have any public interface locations.

Good luck!

Enjoy!

My first advice would be to not get here in the winter...not pleasant LOL
Tourist wise there is lots to see, Stockholm is full of sights worth seeing...
Hmm I'm assuming you're going to Stockholm?

Ask away if there is anything you wanna know smile
