Scenkonstmuseet, Stockholm’s Museum of Performing Arts, celebrates the vibrant world of music, theatre, and dance through immersive exhibitions and interactive experiences. Housed in the historic Kronobageriet building—one of northern Europe’s oldest preserved industrial sites—the museum blends cultural heritage with contemporary creativity. Its collection spans over 50,000 objects, including rare instruments, stage costumes, puppets, and set designs. Visitors can explore soundscapes, try virtual dance performances, and even compose music using body movements via the innovative “gestrument.” Originally formed from a merger of Sweden’s music, theatre, and puppet museums, Scenkonstmuseet reopened in 2017 with a renewed focus on participation and storytelling. It’s a dynamic space where history meets performance, inviting guests to step into the spotlight and experience the art of expression firsthand.
