Rymd: A Swedish Space Odyssey
On display in House of Sweden until December 14

Sweden has been a member of the world space elite ever since the first space rocket left Earth. For more than half a century Swedish space research, technology and innovations have been at the cutting edge of space exploration and discovery. Join us on a Swedish space odyssey!

In this exhibit you can see the smallest space rocket engine in the world, find out about a unique and sustainable propulsion system, learn how Sweden awakened comet chaser Rosetta from her solar slumber. You can even help plan a mission to search for alien life on the icy moons of Jupiter.

The digital stations offer videos, interviews and in-depth geek facts. Don't miss out on the chance to WIN A TRIP TO SWEDEN and a space adventure in Abisko, Sweden, north of the Arctic Circle.

Opening hours:
Saturdays 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Sundays 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
FREE admission and guide on site.

Partners: the Swedish Exhibition Agency and the National Property Board Sweden.
