Stockholm's Science Museum {Tekniska Museet}


So the other day, we went to Tekniska Museet or the Stockholm's Science Museum with my mom's friend and her daughter for a simple "get-together".



Admission Prices: Children - SEK 40     |      Adults - SEK 100      |      Family Ticket*- SEK 300

* - The family ticket may be bought if you are a family being comprised of a maximum of two adults and a maximum of four children. I recommend buying this for a good margin of savings rather than buying individual tickets.

Upon entering the museum, you will be welcomed by a great big hall only used for one exhibit. I think this exhibit is called the 100 Innovations, where it showcases a collection of what should be the most innovative and influential items that are useful to the current world. It poses a question: "What if these items were not present today?"


Another exhibit in the museum was "The Mines", where you could see replicas of old-school technology used for mining coal, copper, gold and other stones and precious metals. This part of the museum also exhibited materials that were used back then for everyday living {as well as now, I suppose} such as leather and porcelain.


Another exhibit was the Beloved Telephones, where it showcased telephones and telecommunication throughout the years. It was a shame though, that the telephones were in some sort of cage, and weren't clearly visible. Still, it was a fine exhibit. My favorite part of this exhibit was a wall filled with headphone plugs, where you needed to plug a headphone to hear a radio station of the country it was on.

Christopher Polhem - Back To The Future was another exhibit featuring the variety of energy and electricity. This exhibit was a maze of interactive sections and games, an example being bike-pedaling to produce electricity, and a medium-sized showroom with a presentation on valuing electricity.

Finally, Game On - 2.0 was another exhibit featuring gaming throughout the years. It featured several games like Tetris or those handheld Tamagotchi games that people used to play back in the days. It also featured several video games being played today, such as Halo or Angry Birds. I played Pinball and Tetris, and got high-scores! TIP: Game On 2.0 will only be open until the 27th of April, 2014. 

Thoughts: What I liked about the museum that it was interactive, and superb for a young audience.
Question: How would this attraction appeal to the adult audience?
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
