National Museum of Science and Technology, Technology museum in Gärdet, Stockholm, Sweden.
The National Museum of Science and Technology in Museums' Park focuses on Sweden's technological and industrial story. Its exhibitions cover transportation, communications, energy, and manufacturing across different periods.
The museum was planned from 1923 by the Swedish Association of Technologists and the Academy of Engineering Sciences, with the Federation of Swedish Industries and the Inventors' Association; collecting began in 1924. Early displays were held in the Academy's attic on Grev Turegatan. The 9,000 m² main building by Ragnar Hjorth opened on 18 May 1936, and the first galleries, Maskinhallen and Gruvan, opened in 1938.
The museum displays objects from Sweden's technological past and how innovations shaped everyday life. You can see how engineers and inventors transformed the modern world.
The museum stands at Museivägen 7 in Museiparken on Gärdet, next to the Maritime Museum, the Ethnographic Museum, the Police Museum and the Sports Museum. The main building and the adjoining machine hall are linked by a low connecting block, and the Wisdome arena sits in the inner courtyard. Lifts and staircases serve the upper floors.
The Wisdome Stockholm features a wooden dome with projections that bring content to life in a special way. This immersive approach using space and microscopic imagery differs from typical exhibition halls.
