Pythagoras Mechanical Workshop Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Norrtälje, Sweden.
The Pythagoras Mechanical Workshop Museum is an industrial museum in Norrtälje, Sweden, displaying original machinery, production lines, and office spaces from a former engine factory. The collection spans a large site, allowing visitors to experience the complete working environment from that era.
The factory was founded in 1898 and initially produced mechanical calculators, later shifting to hot bulb engines. These engines were sold across Europe until production ended in 1979.
The museum shows how workers lived in the 1940s through furnished homes and period furniture on display. Visitors see the role this factory played in the daily life of the local community.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages and has a dedicated children's area. Plan to spend enough time exploring, as the site is spread out with plenty to see.
The production machines and tools still function, demonstrating how engines were made in real time for visitors. This rare feature lets people experience industrial history rather than simply viewing it.
