Skeppsholmen is one of the islands of
Stockholm. It is connected with
Blasieholmen[?] and
Kastellholmen[?] by bridges. Positioned strategically at the
Baltic Sea entrance to Stockholm it has traditionally been a place of military buildings. Nowadays the military presence is rather low and the
art museum Moderna mus�et is dominant instead. It is the main
modern art museum of Stockholm. In the same building is also an architecture museum. The island also is host to �stasiatiska Mus�et (in english: east-asian museum). At the southern shore is an old sailing ship named
af Chapman which is used as a
youth hostel[?] these days. You get there by foot from Kungstr�dg�rden past Grand Hotel and Nationalmuseum, by bus number 65 the very same way or by steam boat from
Slussen[?],
Djurg�rden or
Nybroplan[?].
Stockholm Jazz Festival[?] is a popular annual summer event at Skeppsholmen.
