ikea museum and ikea hotell

The past, the present u0026 the future

The story of IKEA is to some extent also the story of all Swedes. The large furniture store with Ingvar Kamprad at the helm has played an important role in countless teenage rooms, decorated many living rooms with all kinds of textiles, and made people’s homes more homely.

To be able to follow the story of how it all began is fascinating to say the least. The present and future also play important roles in the exhibitions, which makes a visit to IKEA Museum all the more exciting.

The main exhibition at IKEA Museum is divided into three themes: Our Roots, Our Story and Your Stories. Take a closer look at the everyday life in the 19th century Småland, find out more about Ingvar Kamprad’s childhood, and the 20th century transformation of Swedish society where a new vision of home led the way. Our Roots explores the society, living conditions and spirit that prevailed in the Sweden that fostered a young boy’s emerging business. The story continues through the 20th century up to the present, lined with furniture and interior design classic that everyone can relate to. If you want, you can even grab a copy of the cover of this year’s IKEA Catalogue – with you on it!

IKEA Museum also has a temporary exhibition that is updated twice a year. Read about the exhibitions on IKEA Museum’s homepage.

In the same building as the museum, there is also a shop and restaurant. Here you will find the museum’s profile products and familiar classics. Sometimes they also have vintage IKEA objects for sale. The restaurant has a menu that is based on IKEA’sfamous meatballs – with a modern twist.
