Discover more about Malmo Museum

Nestled alongside Malmöhus Castle in the heart of Malmö, Teknikens och Sjöfartens hus is a vibrant tribute to human ingenuity and Sweden’s deep ties to science, industry, and the sea. The museum building—a repurposed 1950s power station—sets a commanding, innovative tone. Step inside to find a cavernous space filled with gleaming engines, vintage aircraft suspended dramatically overhead, and interactive exhibits perfect for hands-on learning and exploration. One of the museum’s signature draws is its imposing U3 submarine, once prowling the Baltic and now fully open for visitors to climb aboard and experience the claustrophobic, gadget-laden world of military naval technology. Surrounding it are displays of historic vehicles including locomotives, trams, and classic cars that chart Sweden’s transformation from rural society to high-tech innovator. Aviation fans are treated to an array of aircraft and flight simulators, while children can turn the gears, buttons, and levers of the science learning zones. Throughout, the museum excels at blending entertainment and education: there are workshops, creative activity stations, and changing exhibitions connected to climate science, alternative energy, and the wonders of space. The atmosphere is lively, inquisitive, and family-friendly, with Swedish and English signage to ensure accessibility. Nearby, green spaces and Malmöhus Castle offer further exploration, making this a rewarding highlight for a cross-border excursion from Copenhagen, especially for those keen on history, technology, or hands-on fun.
