About this experience

Ship building and construction industries drove the economy in the 19th and 20th centuries, but nothing last forever and Malmö was forced to reinvent itself.
The city transformed from an industrial center into a vibrant hub for innovation, education, and diversity.
Modern Malmö now stands as a beacon of multiculturalism and forward-thinking.
