Economy Museum

At Narvavägen 17 in Stockholm, the Economy Museum explores money, finance and economic history through coins, banknotes, treasure hoards and interactive displays. Its collection traces coinage across 2,500 years, including a thousand years of Swedish coins and archaeological finds from Viking times. You can use interactive stations in English and Swedish, and an audio guide can help with displays that lack English text. Admission is included with a ticket to the Swedish History Museum, in the same building, so the two museums can be visited together.

A collection spanning centuries

The Economy Museum, also known as the Royal Coin Cabinet, is dedicated to the history of money and economic life. Its collection dates back to around 1572 and includes coins, banknotes, treasure hoards and piggy banks. Exhibits cover 2,500 years of coinage, with a focus on one thousand years of Swedish coins.

Look for archaeological finds dating to Viking times and the museum’s copper plates. The displays connect money to social history and include material on finance and medals.

Interactive displays and the Money Lab

Interactive stations are available in both English and Swedish. Some displays do not have English translations, so connect to the museum Wi-Fi to use the audio guide for further information.

The Money Lab, called Pengalabbet in Swedish, is a room where children can learn about money and personal finance. The museum is in the same building as the Swedish History Museum at Narvavägen 17. A ticket to the Swedish History Museum includes admission to the Economy Museum.
