Sweden's largest museum of technology in Stockholm

In the heart of Stockholm, the National Museum of Science and Technology (Tekniska museet) showcases Sweden's cultural heritage related to technological and industrial history. Founded in 1924, the museum is responsible for preserving these records for generations to come. Its galleries comprise around 10,000 square meters and attract about 350,000 visitors annually.

The museum's collections consist of more than 55,000 objects and artifacts, 200,000 drawings, 800,000 images and about 40,000 books. It also documents technologies, processes, stories and memoirs to preserve them for the future. The current building, designed in the functionalistic style by architect Ragnar Hjorth, was opened in 1936.

In 2016, the museum received the Museum of the Year Award from the Swedish branch of the International Council of Museums and the Swedish Riksförbundet Sveriges museer. The jury cited the museum's focus on inclusivity, calling it "the favorite place of all small geniuses." In 2017, the museum received the Children in Museums Award for its exhibition Megamind, which was praised for its high quality design and total accessibility.
