In 1844 the brothers Johan and Carl Lundström invented matches in Jönköping. The first production was phosphorus matches, but it was not until 1853 that matches as we know them today began to be produced, following an invention by the chemist Gustav Erik Pasch. This museum retraces the modern history of matches, as well as the way they were made, and exhibits boxes, models, books... since their invention.
