Museum of Work — Attraction in Norrköpings kommun

A FREE and very nice museum that offers a thoughtful reflection on labor, history, and society. When I visited in June 2025, they were showcasing an engaging exhibition of Ewert Karlsson’s (EWK) political cartoons, focusing on themes related to work and the labor revolution—insightful, witty, and socially conscious.

The museum also includes access to Digitopia, a modern exhibition that explores how work has evolved through time and how it continues to change in today’s digital era. It's interactive and thought-provoking, especially for those curious about the future of work.

One of the most unexpected highlights is the UFO archive. Norrköping holds one of the largest documented collections of UFO sightings in the world, and this part of the museum provides a unique and intriguing twist.

You’ll also find great views of the city and the river from the upper floors, adding a scenic bonus to your visit. I recommend starting from the top floor and working your way down—it flows better that way and gives you the full experience.

Overall, a must-visit if you’re in Norrköping. Whether you're into social history, digital futures, or flying saucers, there's something here...

The museum wasn’t what I expected. It is not devoted to the workers as expected. On the top floor (7th) there is a photo exhibition that changes (yearly?) it is ok but some explanations and signs would help. On the sixth floor there is a restaurant. The fifth floor holds the story of Norrköping fromm 1900 until today and rgat one is realky good even I would expect that one in the museum next door. Below an exhibition about environment and robots strange and didn’t give me much. There is also an exhibition about EWK a cartoon drawer not my thing. A decent museum shop and cafeteria ends it (also some stuff for small children that U didn’t check. Staff very helpful and friendly.

The main thing to see is actually the story about the worker Alva and that is described in the stairs (downwards). It could take better...

It certainly covers more than „work“ in a narrow sense. There was also a photo exhibit with the theme „chaos“ and another dedicated to the political cartoons. I’m sure these are special exhibits that change seasonally.

The museum also includes an exhibit through the stairwell, following the life of a woman who once worked at the textile mill there. This was my favorite. There is also a level focused on the work snd everyday live of Norrköping.

To find out more about „work“ be sure to go tonthe stadsmuseum where you can find an exhibit on different professions and crafts presented in a recreated town, as well as much of the textile machinery used by...
