SPRITMUSEUM highlights

Absolut Art Collection – The Absolut Art Collection is Spritmuseum's art collection, which consists of 850 works from the period 1985–2004. All works were created to promote Absolut Vodka, and what unites the unique artworks is that each image or object portrays the iconic Absolut Vodka bottle

True Crime exhibition – discover the mind-boggling stories about a gang of tricksters defying the authorities and taking the law into their own hands. Find out about their creative methods of getting around the strict liquor laws that were limiting their plans.

Spirits of a Nation, Permanent exhibition – learn all about Swedish alcohol history, through films, objects, smells and music. Why do we “toast”? What’s the origin of the drinking (schnapps) songs? And why do we have an alcohol monopoly? 

Money on the Wall: Andy Warhol exhibition – premieres at Spritmuseum on Oct 18. Explore Andy Warhol’s iconic take on money and business in a dynamic display that reveals his art’s intriguing connections to economics and society. Curated by Blake Gopnik.

Tastings – order a tasting tray at the bar to get your own taste of Swedish drinking history. Choose between classic schnapps, Swedish craft drinks and Absolut vodka. There is an additional fee to sample drinks.

The restaurant – centered on Scandinavian flavors and drinks, the restaurant offers a wide selection of Swedish craft drinks including beer, cider, wine and gin. Don’t worry non-alcoholic options are available too.
