Husqvarna Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Huskvarna, Sweden.
The Husqvarna Museum is an industrial museum that tells the story of a major Swedish factory through its long history. The collection displays weapons, motorcycles, sewing machines, and garden equipment spanning several centuries of production.
The factory began in 1689 as a weapons manufacturer for the Swedish military and then shifted into different industries over the centuries. The museum itself opened in 1993 housed in a former workshop building.
The museum reflects how the factory shaped life in the town and provided work for generations of local residents. The displays show what these products meant to people in their daily routines.
The museum operates with different hours depending on the season and day of the week. Check opening times before planning your visit to ensure the site is open when you arrive.
The museum opened in 1982 as a weapons museum run with the Swedish Hunters Association, showing only Husqvarna hunting firearms. In April 1993 it became the factory museum at its present site, and in 2005 it reopened after expansion to 2,400 square metres with a wheelchair-accessible entrance. Since 2015 it has been called Husqvarna Museum.
