Did you know that the safety match was invented in Jönköping? Well you do now, and at this museum you can find out about the invention that turned the city into a match-producing capital from 1845 to 1970. The exhibitions recount the story of figures like the Lundström brothers who ran the factory that now houses this museum.
By 1858 it was churning out 12 million matchboxes a year.
Another personality who shows up is Ivar Kreuger.
