Koppardalen, Working life museum in Avesta, Sweden.

The Koppardalen museum complex stretches along the Dalälven River, featuring preserved industrial buildings that showcase Sweden's manufacturing heritage through multiple exhibits.

Established as a copper workshop in 1636, the site evolved into an ironworks facility in the 1870s after the copper production moved to Falun.

The museum presents artifacts, tools, and machinery that document the evolution of Swedish industrial work practices from the 17th century to modern times.

Visitors can explore the Masugnshallen, Rostugnshallen, and Martinhallen sections, which display different aspects of iron production through interactive exhibitions.

The museum occupies a 260,000 square meter industrial area that the Avesta Municipality acquired in 1986 for preservation and public education.
