Reference excerpt

The National Museum of Science and Technology (Swedish: Tekniska museet) is a museum in Stockholm. It is Sweden's largest museum of technology, and has a national charter to be responsible for preserving the Swedish cultural heritage related to technological and industrial history. Its galleries comprise around 10,000 square meters, and the museum attracts annually about 350,000 visitors. The collections consist of more than 55,000 objects and artifacts, 1 200 shelf metres of archival records and documents, 200,000 drawings, 800,000 images and about 40,000 books. The National Museum of Science and Technology also documents technologies, processes, stories and memoirs in order to preserve them for generations to come.

History The National Museum of Science and Technology was founded in 1924 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (formerly the Federation of Swedish Industries), the Swedish Inventors' Association and the Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers (formerly Svenska Teknologföreningen – roughly, the Swedish Association of Technologists). Its present building is designed in the functionalistic style by architect Ragnar Hjorth, and was opened in 1936. The museum became a foundation in 1947; and has been operated with government funding since 1964. In 2016, the museum received the Museum of the Year Award, which is awarded by the Swedish branch of International Council of Museums and by the Swedish Riksförbundet Sveriges museer (National Association of Museums.) The jury cited the museum's focus on inclusivity, calling it "the favorite place of all small geniuses." In 2017, the Museum received the Children in Museums Award from the International Association of Children in Museums. The jury particularly cited the exhibition Megamind, for "its high quality design, total accessibility and basis of serious research and development of contents [that] reaches a new level in children’s museums."

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden) 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 National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden) 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 National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden) 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 National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden)

In research: National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden) 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 National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden) 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: National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1920s establishments in Stockholm, 1924 establishments in Sweden, Museums established in 1924, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for National Museum of Science and Technology (Sweden) 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.
