TEKNIKENS HUS
Read moreA little out of the city centre, attached to the university, this centre allows young and old alike to discover certain modern technological inventions and to understand how they work. A much smaller Cité des sciences! The main themes are concentrated on the major Swedish activities: mining, fishing, forestry, etc. Texts in Swedish are often in English, but the most important thing is to be able to touch and test! A nice introduction to the main economic activities in Swedish Lapland.
