Match museum, Industrial museum in Jönköping, Sweden.
The Match Museum displays machinery, tools, and extensive collections of matchboxes within a wooden building near Lake Vättern's southern shore.
The museum occupies the former match factory building from 1848, which marked the start of Swedish match production and international trade development.
Through reconstructed workers' apartments and manufacturing displays, the museum presents daily life and working conditions of 19th-century match industry employees.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between September and May, with extended summer hours including Mondays from June through August.
The collection includes five different match-making machines, culminating in an 1892 automated device that combined multiple production steps into one process.
