There are lots of great museums in Stockholm. Nordiska museet (The Museum of Nordic history) is my favourite, located in a colossal 19th century building on Djurgarden island in central Stockholm. Just to see the building is worth the trip and Djurgarden is the most beautiful part of central Stockholm. Note that most museums are closed on Mondays and most of them are free to visit.

Nordiska museet, Djurgardsvagen 6-16, next to the bridge.

Aside from the normal try: the Stadsbiblioteket (national library) on Odengaten. Designed by Gunnar Asplund in 1924-8 a stunning series of spaces lovingly used and preserved. The same architect designed the Southern Cemetery (Skogskyrkogården with metro stop of same name): the chapels are in use so access is difficult although the landscaped grounds are beautiful and reflective.

Asplund worked with Sigurd Lewerentz on the cemetery: the latter designed one his two great churches in southern Stockholm: Markuskyrkan at Bjorkhagen (1958-60): one of the great post war buildings.
If you liked the dark brick modernist space of Markuskyrkan then try Celsing's St Tomas kyrka at Vällingby (1951). Both these churches are right by the suburban metro stops.

Globen (the Globe), the world's largest spherical building, looks something like a, ahem, gigantic golf ball.
