Munktellmuseet

Munktellmuseet, Industrial machinery museum in Eskilstuna, Sweden

Munktellmuseet is an industrial history museum in the Munktellstaden district of Eskilstuna, opened in 1991 and run by Volvo Construction Equipment. Its exhibits cover production at Munktells Mekaniska Verkstad and AB Bolinder-Munktell, which once worked in these buildings. On display are working steam engines, hot-bulb engines, agricultural machinery and tractors, including Sweden's first tractor from 1913, plus a drivable copy of Förstlingen, Sweden's first steam locomotive, and a steam carriage built in Eskilstuna in 1884.

Munktells Mekaniska Verkstad and AB Bolinder-Munktell operated in these premises before the museum opened in 1991. Volvo Construction Equipment now runs the museum, which was named the world's best museum in its industry in 2008. The collection preserves machines built on the site, including Sweden's first tractor from 1913.

The museum occupies the former Munktells Mekaniska Verkstad and AB Bolinder-Munktell workshops in Munktellstaden, where the machines on show were once built. It is run by Volvo Construction Equipment, the company that continues the site's industrial line, and in 2008 it was named the world's best museum in its branch.

The museum is open every day and can be booked outside opening hours for groups and guided tours. Exhibits fill several halls, with a workshop where machines are repaired and a lecture hall seating 100. Allow time to see the working steam engines and the 1913 tractor.

The museum holds a running replica of Förstlingen, Sweden's first steam locomotive, plus a steam carriage built in Eskilstuna in 1884. A workshop inside repairs the working steam engines and ignition engines, and a lecture hall seats 100 people.
