In order to make the finds accessible to the general public, a planned subterranean garage had to give way to the Museum of Medieval Stockholm, which was inaugurated in 1986.

[1] The museum enables visitors to experience medieval Stockholm, with its brick houses and booths, workshops, harbour and gallows.

In 2010, to celebrate 800 years since the birth of Birger Jarl, the founder of Stockholm, the museum opened an exhibition with a reconstruction of his face.

It engages in broad educational activities, in which children, youth and schools are a key target group.

The move was necessitated by the take over of the museum's space by The Administrative Office of the Swedish Parliament.
