The Economy Lab
What do you think our tax money should be spent on? How can you influence the climate through what you buy? And what's really the best way to save money? These are questions you can explore in the Economy Lab.
Brushing your teeth, drinking coffee, charging your phone—everything we do costs money. The exhibition features dilemmas and interactive stations where visitors are encouraged to make choices.
About the museum
The Economy Museum – The Royal Coin Cabinet is a place for economic learning. Through exhibitions, lectures, and other activities, we aim to inspire and foster curiosity about the role of economics in history and in our daily lives. With origins dating back to 1572, it is one of Sweden's oldest museums. Our collections comprise around 650,000 items - coins, banknotes, medals, stock certificates, and other objects that tell stories about economics and trade, history, and culture.
