There are only three matchstick museums in the world, and one of them is the Matchstick Museum in central J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping. It is located on the southern shore of Lake V\u00e4ttern in a beautiful wooden building from 1848, classified as a historic landmark.<\/p>\n

At the Matchstick Museum, you will meet both the people and the machines that built the matchstick industry and turned it into a global enterprise. If you visit the museum with children, there are plenty of fun activities, such as searching for hidden giant matchsticks or making your own matchbox
