Pioneering Swedish innovations of the National Museum of Science and Technology

In the heart of Stockholm, the National Museum of Science and Technology (Tekniska museet) showcases Sweden's groundbreaking contributions to technology and industrial innovation. Founded in 1924, the museum is responsible for preserving the Swedish cultural heritage related to technological and industrial history. Its collections, which tell the stories of Swedish inventors and building pioneering technologies, have earned it the title of 'Sweden's largest museum of technology.

The museum boasts a collection of over 55,000 objects and artifacts, with its almost 10,000 square meters of gallery space showcasing a range of exhibits, from 1200 shelf meters of archival records and documents to 200,000 drawings, 800,000 images, and about 40,000 books. In 2016, the museum received the Museum of the Year Award (Swedish branch of International Council of Museums and Swedish Riksförbundet Sveriges museer), and in 2017, it received the Children in Museums Award (International Association of Children in Museums). Both awards praised the museum's focus on inclusivity and the quality of its exhibits.
