The Museum of Technology is a very modern and innovative museum, offering instructive exhibits on human technological evolution, in a format that is accessible and understandable to all. Contrary to the idea of a generic museum, this one is not visited by passively absorbing the information presented, but rather by pondering a question posed. What would life on Mars be like? What is the Anthropocene and what is its impact on our civilization? What happens when technology allows us to conceive our children using genome editing? These are just some of the questions posed by some of their exhibitions. More often than not, the experience offered at these exhibitions is an interactive one, where the more you discover about the subject, the more you develop your own questions, your sensations and reactions becoming part of the exhibition. By presenting it in this way, the museum ensures that dialogue is not the preserve of specialists or politicians, but of a wider public, inviting the world's citizens to take part in future decisions. You also have the opportunity to discover some of Sweden's inventions and their inventors. Who are the men and women behind the techniques that have changed the world? The best-known is, of course, Alfred Nobel. Then there's Anders Celsius, inventor of the degrees Celsius, a system used universally today.

The Vasa Park is, in summer, widely visited by the inhabitants of Norrmalm.

The statue Arbetaren (the worker) is a tribute to the working class.

Exhibitions are spread over two buildings, the second of which opened in 2021. The old building was Sweden's first independent public gallery for contemporary art, founded in 1916.

That said, once inside, the new building is brightly lit, highlighting the works of art.

Built on a rocky outcrop called Brunkebergsåsen, St John's Church was built in only six years and completed in 1890. The interior, in pure neo-Gothic style, is well worth seeing.
