I notice that they call themselves Medelhavsmuseet also in English on their website. I still think that the name Mediterranean Museum or Mediterranean Museum, Stockholm could be considered for this article, since the Swedish name has this straightforward translation into English.

Yes, I can see your point. However, the Swedish name is used in scholarly texts like Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Sweden, 4: Medelhavsmuseet and Nationalmuseum and in articles like The Cyprus Collections in the Medelhavsmuseet. A search in JSTOR gives 77 hits for Medelhavsmuseet and 7 hits for "Mediterranean Museum" (a quick google search seems to confirm the pattern) so the use of the Swedish name in English texts seems widespread.
