Explore collections of Asian archeology, classical arts, and culture at the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, located in the Tyghuset building on Skeppsholmen.

The Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, established by Sweden's Parliament in 1926, showcases a diverse collection from Japan, Korea, India, and China. The museum is located in the Tyghuset building on Skeppsholmen and has been a part of the public Swedish National Museums of World Culture since 1999.

The museum offers exhibits of archeology, classical arts, and contemporary culture, alongside a large research library open to the public. It also publishes an annual journal focused on research on ancient East Asia, the Bulletin of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities.

Visitors can explore artifacts that were originally based on discoveries in China during the 1920s. The museum serves as a significant center for research and the study of East Asian prehistory.
