The Swedish Music Hall of Fame grew out of the Svenska Musikskattens Hus foundation, created in 2011 to spread knowledge of Swedish popular music, and took the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as its model.

It closed in February 2017 for lack of space, and since May 2018 a permanent exhibition has been held at Scenkonstmuseet.
