Research

Explore our collections of objects, images and records. A lot of this material is quite unique. This section also presents our Research Council and research projects.

The National Museum of Science and Technology’s collections comprise a rich source of history for research into Sweden’s technological and industrial growth and development. Through documentation, collection and research, our collections are growing and with new knowledge being added. We are continuously adding new details about objects/artefacts, images, archival records and book in our collections.

We also collect new material from contemporary and historic industrial environments, and conduct interviews with people about production processes, working methods and technology. We often cooperate with other museums, institutions and companies. Our investigations are systematic and use a variety of methods. The results are published online, in exhibitions and in publications.

Since 2013, the Museum has been implementing a new five-year programme for documentation, collecting and exhibitions. Its aim is to develop closer ties between the Museum’s research arm and its activities for the general public.

The National Museum of Science and Technology’s Research Council

The Museum collaborates with universities and other higher education institutions as well as individual researchers in the major documentation and exhibition projects we conduct.
