This museum deals with the history of manufacture in the town of
Husqvarna (later Huskvarna, though the company name didn't change).
Halls are sorted by subject, rather than date; there are two
galleries of motorcycles, another of rifles, and one of
sewing-machines and other domestic appliances.
And of course one of chainsaws. If chainsaws are your thing, you
must come here.
The recurrent theme here is licence-building of foreign items (such
as Winchester and Remington firearms), followed by minor innovation,
and then fully domestic designs. Husqvarna was essentially a
cast-iron company for a long time, with its meat-grinders the main
civilian product after it had flooded the market with hunting
rifles.
Park on the other side of Jönköpingsvägen and walk up, unless you're
disabled. Up the hill is Smedbyn, a group of preserved cottages
built for the workers when they were first encouraged to live close
together rather than scattered about the countryside.
