Wardrobe: The museum provides a wardrobe with hangers, hat shelves, and lockable cabinets. Small bags are allowed, but we cannot store suitcases. Nearest storage is available at Stockholm Central Station.
Food and drink: Unfortunately, we don't have a designated space to eat packed meals. Due to the sensitive environment, eating and drinking are not allowed in the museum's exhibitions, entrance, or shop. The Royal Armoury does not have a cafe or restaurant but we are happy to recommend nearby restaurants and cafés.
Restrooms and changing rooms: The toilets are located one staircase down towards the royal carriages. There is also a changing room there.
