Tekniska Museet — A Century of Swedish Innovation
Located on Stockholm’s Djurgården Island, the Tekniska Museet (Sweden’s National Museum of Science and Technology) is the country’s largest science center. It blends interactive exhibits, futuristic galleries, and historic collections—covering everything from AI and gaming to climate tech and space exploration.
🔬 Hands-On Exhibits for All Ages
- Teknorama: Discover physics, energy, and motion through real-world challenges.
- MegaMind: Explore creativity, perception, and the brain’s power in a colorful interactive zone.
- Play Beyond Play: Dive into the world of video games—how they’re built, played, and understood.
The museum champions inclusive STEM learning, with dedicated exhibitions on climate change, accessibility, and women’s contributions to science and technology.
🏛️ Historic Roots & Striking Architecture
Founded in 1924, Tekniska Museet found its permanent home in a functionalist building designed by architect Ragnar Hjorth. Inside, visitors encounter a vast archive of more than 56,000 objects, 800,000 photographs, and priceless documents that trace Sweden’s industrial and technological journey.
🚂 A Beloved Classic: Uno Milton’s Model Railway
One of the museum’s most nostalgic treasures is Uno Milton’s Model Railway—a 200-square-meter miniature Sweden with lifelike cities, rail yards, and countryside. Built in the 20th century, this intricate display remains an analog wonder in an otherwise digital age.
🌌 Leading the Future of Interactive Learning
In December 2023, the museum unveiled Wisdome Stockholm—a 1,000-square-meter 3D dome for immersive science storytelling. Here, visitors journey through the cosmos, climate simulations, and AI landscapes in cinematic experiences.
Galleri AI presents digital artworks created entirely by artificial intelligence, pushing boundaries of creativity and redefining art’s relationship with technology. These cutting-edge exhibits confirm Tekniska Museet’s role as a dynamic hub of innovation.
