Snus and match museum, Industrial heritage museum in Gubbhyllan, Skansen, Sweden.
Description
The Snus and Match Museum occupies a traditional Swedish building within Skansen open-air museum and displays machinery for processing snuff tobacco and manufacturing matches. The collection shows the hands-on methods and equipment used in these two important industries.
History
This institution was founded in 1938 to serve employees of Sweden's tobacco monopoly and document their industry. The collection moved to its present location in Skansen in 1965 to make the story available to the public.
Culture
Snuff and matches were everyday items that shaped how Swedes went about their daily lives for generations. These products reveal much about local work traditions and the practical needs that defined ordinary life in the past.
Practical
The museum is located within Skansen grounds and welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday. Entry is free for anyone holding a Skansen ticket, making it easy to visit as part of a larger museum day on the island.
Did you know?
Visitors can watch demonstrations of traditional packing methods for snuff using original factory equipment and hand assembly of oval match boxes. These hands-on displays show skills that would have vanished if they had not been preserved in this way.
