Tekniska – the National Museum of Science and Technology – is one of Stockholm’s most extensive and engaging museum destinations for the whole family, and a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Sweden. Large-scale exhibitions, interactive environments and a world-class planetarium come together in a setting that appeals to both children and curious adults.

Stockholm offers many places to explore Sweden’s history – from Vikings to royalty and sunken ships. But for those who want to discover the ideas, inventions and creativity behind the Sweden of today, Tekniska is an essential stop.

The museum’s major new exhibition Drömlandet (opening 29 April 2026) follows Sweden’s remarkable journey from a poor, remote country in northern Europe to a society known for creativity, technology and forward-thinking ideas that have influenced the world. Across the museum, you can explore dark underground mines, step into the world of video games, discover how technology is becoming part of our bodies – or take a walk through a Swedish forest.

Tekniska also features a large science centre filled with hands-on experiments and interactive challenges, as well as spectacular planetarium shows that take you on immersive journeys through space, science and imagination. While you’re here, don’t miss a Swedish fika in the spectacular Trähallen – an award-winning masterpiece of Nordic architecture and design.

With generous opening hours from morning until evening, seven days a week and almost all year round, Tekniska is one of Stockholm’s most popular destinations for families – and a place where curious visitors can explore how technology, society, history and the future are connected.

If you want to experience Sweden, Tekniska is a stop you shouldn’t miss – a must during your visit to Stockholm.
