Malmö used to be one of the most important industrial cities in Sweden. Many Malmö citizens have nostalgic memories of the days when the factories in Malmö produced the largest ships and the best nylon stockings. But the city is so much more than factories and work. The creativity of the people of Malmö, the stories of their lives and their diverse backgrounds have all merged to create the Malmö we see today. This story and much more is told by Malmö Museer in “The city of all times".
The exhibition
In the 900 square metre large exhibition in The Science and Maritime House a part of the history over Malmö the last 150 years is told through text, pictures and film. The exhibition shows plenty of artifacts from the Museums collections.
Read a short introduction to the exhibition themes.
In the city
“The city of all times" is not restrained by the museum walls, instead it continues out into the city. For example, through mp3-guides we make the city history come to life.
The World Wide Web
Actually, “The City of all times" reaches out around the world. On the internet more information can be obtained, films and pictures are shown from the era that, to a big degree, shaped Malmö.
