Reference excerpt

The Museum of Spirits (Swedish: Spritmuseum) is situated on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. The museum is about Sweden's wine and spirit history and the manufacture of alcohol. The fixed exhibitions, showed older production and bottling equipment for wine and spirits, labels from older wine and spirits in Sweden, an exhibition about Swedish drinking habits and beverage visors, objects from ancient wine history, and a complete interior design from a wine trade from the time before Systembolaget monopoly. The museum has permanent and temporary exhibitions related to the drinking culture of Sweden. The museum also functions as an art gallery, as it houses and displays the Absolut Art Collection. The museum houses three exhibition venues, including the permanent, interactive exhibition Sweden: Spirits of a Nation (Spritlandet Sverige).

History The Museum of Spirits was opened as the Wine & Spirit Historical Museum in the Grönstedtska palace, in Vasastaden, Stockholm, in 1967, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the state-owned company AB Vin & Sprit. In the spirit museum, among other things, it is shown by the state of the Absolut Art Collection, a collection of 850 artwork from 1986 onwards for Absolut Vodka of Andy Warhol and 550 other famous artists. This was excluded from the state's sales of Wine & Sprit AB to Pernod in 2008 after a unanimous parliamentary decision, caused by a motion of Leif Pagrotsky. The Selection of the art collection is shown in an annual thematic exhibition that is from spring and over the summer. Every autumn an Absolut-artist in to make a solar setting. In May 2012, the spirits museum moved to 2,000 square meters of large premises in the Galärskjulen at Djurgården in Stockholm. In 2014, Petter Nisson, who had previously operated La Gazzetta (described by The New York Times as "one of the most celebrated creative neo-bistros in Paris"), opened a restaurant at the museum.

2017, Rocky at the Museum of Spirits, comic artist Martin Kellerman constructed four spaces representing rooms and places frequently used in his self-biographical comic strip Rocky. 2017 — 2018, Under the Surface — Bertil Vallien, on the work of innovative glassmaker Bertil Vallien. 2017 — 2018, Champagne!

Absolut Art Collection The Absolut Art Collection consists of work created between 1985 and 2004. It contains nearly 900 artworks - paintings, graphic art, photography, furniture, fashion, and handicrafts - by 600 artists and designers, all in some way portraying the Absolut Vodka bottle.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Museum of Spirits

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Museum of Spirits claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Museum of Spirits before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Museum of Spirits ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Museum of Spirits

In research: Museum of Spirits appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Museum of Spirits in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Museum of Spirits is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1960s establishments in Stockholm, 1967 establishments in Sweden, Alcohol in Sweden, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Museum of Spirits outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
