A disappointing museum, rendered worse perhaps by being between one exhibition and the next. I am frankly surprised that there is a charge for entry, and that there is a rebate for students but not for pensioners. The heraldic funerary items were very interesting, but not a single explanatory text.

A fantastic little museum that won't overwhelm, but rather intrigue. Exciting history that is not only presented in great exhibition pieces, but is also actually there, preserved in the building itself. The enthusiastic and informative staff was a delight. Highly recommended!
Having a boyfriend who is a history freak means that I get dragged into visiting various museums in various cities. There are worse things that can happen, you may say... but let's say I'm usually obliged to follow his request and accompany him to see all the archaic relics. This museum is no exception. Located a stone's throw away from the Linköping cathedral, the Linköping castle used to be the bishop's residence (It turned out, I did learn something about history). It's pretty neat if you lived there and worked at the church, no commuting necessary. When you get inside the museum entrance, the museum shop is right there on the entrance and you buy the ticket (60 kr for adult) from the cashier. You go to the right wing first to learn about the building's history where you could see the inside construction of the building, sort of. After that, you continue your visit to the upper floor. We were there during the exhibition called \Årets mat\ and I was hoping to learn more about what kind of food they grew and eat during the year 1500 but was disappointed to see that the exhibition turned out very small indeed. We gave it a round and that's it. It could have been very interesting otherwise. That's why I only gave it two stars, not because I was dragged into this place (ha!) but because their exhibition turned out to be disappointing and the museum was actually very small, it was just one wing of the castle - they could've opened more part of the castle and showed more relics, after all it's a Castle and Cathedral museum.
It's wonderful
