Dreamland - the story of how Sweden became Sweden — Tekniska museet, Stockholm

Modern Swedish history begins with ideas, innovations, and technology. Steel processes, hydropower, and telephones laid the foundation for industry - welfare reforms, the contraceptive pill, and paternity leave transformed family and working life - and internet platforms like Pirate Bay and Spotify revolutionized the music industry fundamentally.

The exhibition traces how a poor agricultural nation became a global technology nation, and how technological breakthroughs and their consequences shaped society: from politics and commerce to culture and everyday life.
