culture island

The passenger ferry Djurgården 9 on its way from Gröna Lund to Slussen. In the back we see Skeppsholmen, what used to be an island full of military installations. Now it is full of museums and culture instead. For instance we find the Museum of Modern Art and the East-Asia museum here. The Stockholm Jazz Festival is also held on the island.
