Exhibitions

The Ironworks

In the Ironworks exhibition, you can admire the blast furnace in all its glory. Discover Huseby Bruk’s most iconic product – the famous cast-iron stove – while exploring many other iron products manufactured here.

The Nature Gallery

The Nature Gallery introduces you to the natural environments of Kronoberg County, from deep forests to open landscapes and everything in between. Discover stories that weave together nature, culture and humanity’s impact through time.

A Box in the Attic

After spending 140 years in the attic at Huseby Bruk, a previously unknown wooden box was opened. Inside were historical documents from Joseph Stephens’ nearly ten years working on a major railway construction project in India. The discovery proved invaluable to historical research. This exhibition is displayed in the Ironworks building.

The Sawmill – Then, Now & Tomorrow

In the Sawmill building you will find the exhibition Then, Now & Tomorrow. It tells the story of the forests of southern Sweden and the development of Huseby through the ages. Follow an interactive journey from the retreat of the Ice Age glaciers to the present day.
