What’s On in Stockholm: January 2018

January is the time for resolutions; our New Year’s resolution is to get out and experience Stockholm! And this year, we’re determined to stick to our guns all year long by finding the best events the city has to offer. With so many fun concerts, films, exhibitions and other fun things to choose from, Stockholm certainly makes it an easy resolution to keep.

Here’s what’s happening in Stockholm this month:

Tuesday 3rd – Sunday 7th January

The Invisible Body at Sven Harrys Konstmuseum

This exhibit approaches the topic of healthy and sick bodies through visualization. View photographs, installations, and video art that combine the wonders of science and talent of art. It’s only on display for a few more days – don’t miss it!

 
 

Thursday 4th January

Sound of Music sing-along at Bio Rio

The hills are alive with the sound of music, and so are the theaters today! The movie is shown and the songs will be sung in English.
