The Tobacco & Match Museum is a museum of industrial and cultural history with extensive collections detailing the history of Swedish tobacco and matches.

The Tobacco Museum was founded in 1938. The objects collected came from some of the hundreds of tobacco factories operating in Sweden prior to 1915, when the tobacco monopoly was instituted.

In 1965, the Tobacco Museum moved to Skansen, and in 2000, it was complemented with a match-related section and changed its name to the Tobacco & Match Museum. The museum is run with the financial support of Swedish Match AB, which also owns the collections.

The Museum of Medieval Stockholm in Kulturhuset

Due to the renovation of Norrbro (the North Bridge) the museum has moved from Helgeandsholmen to a location in Kulturhuset. While the work on the bridge is taking place we are building the new Museum of Medieval Stockholm which is expected to open in the early 2010.

The Museum of Medieval Stockholm opened in 1986. It describes the emergence and medieval development of the town and is built up round some of the permanent heritage monuments which came to light during the archaeological excavations on Helgeandsholmen (The Island of the Holy Spirit) between 1978 and 1980. The display area comprises 1,750 square metres and there are some 850 objects on display. The objects come from the whole of the town area
