Match Museum, Jönköping

Jönköping has the only match museum in the world. After a meal, take a stroll to the museum, which was a match production factory in the past. The building itself is quite unique.

I wasn't particularly keen to find out in the match/matchbox industry. But the exhibits show an interesting part of Jönköping's history. The area of the exhibits wasn't large. Hence, it was not hard for a relaxing walk through the museum.

There was no entrance fee in Nov/Dec. Hence we were blessed in that sense. :)
