ArkDes Collection

ArkDes has one of the world’s largest collections of architecture. In the museum’s collection display, you will find a selection of buildings, ideas, and places that have shaped modern Sweden.

The collection exhibition is divided into themes where you can follow the life cycle of design: from the initial ideas on the drawing board to how architecture and design take shape in our cities. Discover unique original objects: sketches, photos, models, drawings, and documents that show how creativity and design influence our society.

ArkDes Collection is more than an exhibition – it is a living, evolving experience. Objects are presented temporarily to be studied, admired, and discussed. After a time, they return to storage, making space for new objects and new stories. Through Unboxing, we invite you to join us in discovering hidden treasures from the collection.

See the world through the eyes of the designer, reflect on the role of architecture in society, and imagine the future together with us. Welcome to explore the collection of works that shaped modern Sweden.
