ALL SEVEN CONTINENTS. Join us on this crazy adventure, and hopefully, you'll be inspired to start your own unique journey! Go peregrinate!
There's a protest.
Is there?
Yeah.
Or like a marriage proposal.
Like it sounds like she's like proposing to someone.
What's up P Nation?
Today is the second to last day of our great big vacation.
And we're in Stockholm, Sweden.
So today we're going to go into the city and check out their free museums.
But first.
We're going to show you how ridiculously close the subway station is to our old Air BnB.
So something we just thought was really cool and wanted to show you is that this building
was built like in the 50s or something.
And it has this really old call system.
I think.
We think.
We're not sure what this is.
But it looks like you like press on.
Like can you give me a name here or something?
You press on and be like, excuse me that may please come in.
I don't know.
So we made it.
So fast and easy.
So it's literally right next to our apartment.
And apparently.
Considered the.
They just have tons and tons of art down here and it's pretty cool.
So these are some of the pieces we were talking about and apparently art just scattered all
over the city.
Okay so we were in the central station trying to show you all the artwork but there's just
like too many things going on.
There's all these different platforms.
There's all these people traveling.
There's all these people helping these people traveling.
Normally when we go places there's not like hired employees to help you find where you're
trying to go.
But here there are people everywhere like asking like do you need help?
Do you need help?
So we're trying to find the artwork.
But it's like there are too many levels to this place.
To find it.
Yeah we started like two levels down and now we've gone four levels down.
So.
I don't know.
We found it.
If you're ever at the T-Central station in Stockholm look for the blue line and you'll
find the art.
So a lot of the train stations actually have artwork from people and if they don't have
artwork they are painted very elaborately so that's why we're here.
All right and just like that one stop later we have made it to the Old Town.
We're going to walk through and then get to the museums.
So we were walking through the Royal Palace and we didn't realize that you can enter the
Royal Chapel for free and most chapels or churches in Stockholm you have to pay like
a three to seven dollar fee to get into just because.
But this one's free and that's really really cool and you see this triangle behind me?
Illuminati.
And across the hall from the chapel is where you can buy your tickets to tour the actual
Royal Palace where the royal family used to live.
But like we said before there are free museums so that's where we're going.
Okay so we made it to the National Museum.
We're not sure what's inside so let's go check it out.
So this art museum is super cool however this is like the creepiest artwork I've ever
seen in a museum.
So we're in this grand atrium and we just want to point out that they have tapestries
and that is Zach's favorite form of art.
And just like I know painting is cool but to take all of the time to sew together all
of these different colors and like press it and press it and press it to actually make
a design and make a piece of artwork normally takes seven to ten years so anytime I see
one that's old I'm like oh my gosh because it took someone seven years to make that carpet.
This is the one I think we see the resemblance.
Just like sit and find a bench that's not in a nice place to look at what you want to see.
When you come into the museum they make you put your bags.
Entering the code to put our bags safely away Zach was messing with me and the lock and
now we can't get our bags because we can't get into our locker.
We can't get into our locker so I have to go find somebody to let us in.
I have to probably explain to them what was in there.
It's a whole mess.
Thanks Zach.
You're welcome.
So I had to go up to reception and they're sending someone down here to help us.
I was checking out the other ones just in case we forgot where our locker was.
I'm pretty sure it's this one.
The lady was trying her special trick on it and it didn't work so maybe it's just broken.
Maybe it's not Zach's fault.
We got our stuff.
Okay so we were leaving the National Museum now and we talked to the front desk lady
and she said that apparently there are 8 museums that are free.
So we do not have enough time to do all those but if it was winter we would definitely try
but it's so nice outside that it's not going to happen.
So we're about to go to the Modern History Museum that's across the bridge and through
this island that has all these trees.
It's going to be a really nice walk.
Can't wait to show you.
Because we were just trying to have a snack just walking through this park and all of
a sudden we hear this lady yelling at us.
We're like what is going on?
There's a protest.
Or like a marriage proposal.
It sounds like she's proposing to someone.
She sounds angry.
I don't think so.
It's from this tree.
It's an art installation of someone yelling at everyone walking by in a tree.
Modern art.
We just walked across the island and now we're at the Modern Museum.
Yeah.
This is already feeling really out there compared to all the traditional things we just witnessed.
I feel like Scandinavian art is very super weird.
Yeah.
Forward thinking.
Right.
So this museum is actually quite exciting because you know modern art breaks the barrier of
what you think art is going to be.
So the first exhibit we're going to see is how they make video games.
Swedish video games.
Okay and that's it for the Modern Art Museum.
It was pretty small.
I thought it was going to be a little bit bigger.
But yeah.
It was interesting.
We couldn't show you a lot of things because it was all video format.
Yeah.
So you watch a video.
You put pieces in your ears.
And just different alternative reality type stuff.
But it was overall really cool.
And now we're going to try and take some ferries across to the other island.
Okay so we just made it to the ferry terminal and we're looking across the water and there's
this gigantic theme park.
And it's making me think of the competitor of Stockholm which is Copenhagen.
And they actually opened the first theme park that inspired Disneyland and Disney World.
I was wondering if this theme park was built at the same time.
Okay so we just made it to the end of the line.
However we've got to get back on the same boat.
I hope we can make it in time.
They made us like walk all the way out here.
Why did you do this to us?
So we just made it to the amusement park island and we learned that...
It's the same thing as the park in Denmark.
It's called Tivoli.
It's owned by the same people so that makes sense.
And they have this bar that's called Mamma Mia!
The Party which makes a lot of sense.
At first it didn't but now I realize Abba's from Stockholm.
Speaking of Abba, here's the museum.
However it is not free so we are not going to that museum.
And this concludes...
Oh.
That's really good.
Anyways.
This concludes our day.
We went to the museums.
We saw everything for free.
We used our pass to get on a bus.
And a plane.
And a train.
And a boat.
Yep.
And speaking of trains, this is our last train ride here.
It has been wonderful to have you guys with us.
Thank you so much for exploring Stockholm with us.
We're really excited for tomorrow.
Yes.
It's our last day here.
I had no idea the Swiss royalty had this much influence.
Swedish.
Let's go on the bloopers.
