ArkDes Collection

Join a guided tour that tells the story of the buildings, ideas, and places that have shaped modern Sweden. From early sketches to completed environments, we open the door to the creative processes behind architecture. Discover works by architects such as Gunnar Asplund, Léonie Geisendorf, and Sigurd Lewerentz, and reflect on how architecture influences the way we live today and in the future.

Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births

When was the menstrual cup created? And what will the future birthing chair look like? Designing Motherhood is an exhibition about how design has influenced human reproduction over the past 150 years to enable, facilitate, or prevent our arrival into the world. The tour offers an introduction to an exhibition of more than 300 objects, from the first breast pump designed for the female body to maternity field trousers.

Tuesday–Sunday, from 1 July to 24 August 2025.
