Telemuseum

Telemuseum, Communication museum in Stockholm, Sweden

The Telemuseum was a telecommunications museum housed in a former cavalry stable of the Livregementets dragoner garrison in Museiparken on Gärdet, beside the Museum of Technology. Televerket funded a rebuild with a basement object store and two exhibition floors: telegraphy and telephony opened on the ground floor in 1975, radio, broadcasting and television upstairs in 1978. Its roughly 15,000 objects were mainly older telegraph, telephone and radio equipment.

Founded in 1937, the museum first occupied premises at Karlaplan with an entrance on Styrmansgatan. In the 1970s it moved into a former cavalry stable in Museiparken beside the Museum of Technology, where telegraphy and telephony opened in 1975 and radio and television in 1978. It closed on 18 January 2004 after telecom deregulation ended Telia's obligation to fund it alone.

The museum showed how telephones and radio shaped Swedish society through devices that people used in their everyday lives. Visitors could understand how these technologies changed the way people communicated and stayed informed.

The museum is no longer open, but parts of the collection are displayed at the Museum of Technology in Stockholm. Those interested in telecommunications history can visit about 250 telephone artifacts and related devices there instead.

The collection held a special telephone custom-made by Lars Magnus Ericsson for Russian Tsar Nicholas II. This piece shows how Swedish telecommunications expertise reached the highest levels of European royalty.
