Teknikens och sjöfartens hus

Teknikens och sjöfartens hus stands in Sweden, beside a low redbrick building filled with machines. On the lawn, the U three submarine sits near aircraft wings, vintage cars and steam engines.

Inside, permanent exhibitions trace the city’s development from the mid nineteenth century to today. Tidernas stad shows how trade, shipbuilding and factories changed everyday life through objects, photographs and tools. Horse-drawn trams stand beside early petrol motors, steam boilers and electric machines in the engine gallery. Upstairs, an experiment room lets children and curious adults explore simple laws of physics through hands-on activities. Wheelchair access makes these technology and maritime displays available to more visitors.

The U three submarine entered museum care in 1967 after launching in Karlskrona during the Second World War. You can walk through its narrow corridors and see the control room, where valves and gauges fill a compact metal interior. In summer, a historic tram makes a route through the park and past the old fortress. The submarine hatch remains the clearest image: once opening beneath the sea, it now leads into a crew’s confined world.
