Tekniska Museet—A century of Swedish innovation
Located on Stockholm’s Djurgården Island, Tekniska Museet (Sweden’s National Museum of Science and Technology) is the country’s largest science center. It blends interactive exhibits, futuristic galleries, and historical 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 takes an inclusive approach to STEM learning, with dedicated exhibits for climate change, accessibility, and women’s contributions to technology.
🏛️ Historic roots & striking architecture
Tekniska Museet opened in 1924 and found its home in a functionalist masterpiece by architect Ragnar Hjorth. Inside, visitors can explore a vast archive: over 56,000 tech-related objects, 800,000 photographs, and priceless documents chronicling Sweden’s industrial journey.
🚂 A beloved exhibit: Uno Milton’s model railway
Among 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 scenes. Built in the 20th century, it offers an analog marvel within this modern museum.
🌌 Leading the future of interactive learning
In December 2023, the museum launched Wisdome Stockholm—a 1,000-square-meter 3D dome for immersive science storytelling. Visitors can explore the cosmos, climate simulations, or AI landscapes in cinematic visualizations.
Galleri AI presents digital art entirely generated by artificial intelligence—challenging what we define as human creativity. These cutting-edge exhibits highlight Tekniska Museet’s role as a living, evolving hub for innovation.
🎉 100 years and counting
As Tekniska Museet approaches its 100-year anniversary, it continues to evolve as a “living museum”—blending historical insight with future-focused exhibitions and hands-on exploration for all ages.
