Exhibitions

The Tumba Paper Mill is a scenic and listed area, meaning it is preserved for its cultural history. It is a place where you can relax and learn about Swedish paper mill history.

On the mill site you will find four buildings with different uses and character. Each buildings presents part of the mill, the origins of banknote production and its history. You can also enjoy something to eat or perhaps buy a souvenir of your visit.

Down to earth

An exhibition based on life at Tumba Paper Mill around the turn of the last century, and how its inhabitants lived self-sufficently. You will also meet people living sustainably today. The exhibition, which is suited for both adults and families, takes place both inside the museum and outside in our beautiful parks and gardens. On view 18 maj 2023 – 29 september 2024.

Parks and gardens

Gardens at the Tumba Paper Mill have been created throughout the ages - some from necessity and some for pleasure. Today you can visit several gardens in the mill surroundings.
