F.A.Q.

An educational method we call flipped museum involves providing the opportunity for schools, using online films prior to their physical visit to the museum, to access information  that was previously conveyed via guided tours.  This means that their visit to the museum can involve more creative, innovative and discursive elements.

The schools programme is divided into three independent sections. It is up to the teacher to decide whether the class will use all three parts or only use one or a couple of the elements. Two of the programme’s sections – the film and the follow-on material – can be found on the website www.flippatmuseum.se. These two sections are also available to schools that are not able to visit the museum.  However, the three sections of the school programme form a whole, the content of which encompasses several different subjects and consist of different educational methods. We therefore recommend that all three sections are used in order to provide as complete an experience as possible.

Flipped museum is designed as a platform for museums and schools, but it is possible for all those who are interested to access the material.

There is currently an increased focus on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial qualities are often highly valued. The exhibition aims to provide a perspective on the term entrepreneurship, its meaning and complexity so that the visitor may better relate to it. We want to give entrepreneurship a historical and contemporary context, at the same time as encouraging visitors to contemplate their own entrepreneurial qualities.

With the exhibition “Entreprenörskapande – Ingenting är enkelt, men allt är möjligt” (Entrepreneurship – Nothing is simple but everything is possible), the Royal Coin Cabinet wants to show the diversity of entrepreneurs in our society and show how entrepreneurs have worked throughout history and how they influenced and were influenced by the development of society.

The school reforms of recent years have led to an increased focus on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial learning in the curriculum for compulsory school years 7-9 and upper secondary school.  The Royal Coin Cabinet has taken this on board in the exhibition “Entrepreneurship” and the accompanying schools programme.

The educational programme for the exhibition is based on the concept flipped museum, which aims to engage with pupils prior to their visit. Read more about flipped museum.

“Entrepreneurship” and the accompanying schools programme is very much in line with the criteria and objectives of the curriculum for years 7-9 (Lgr11) and upper secondary school (Lgy11). To see how schools can use the programme, look under the heading Grundskoleuppgifter or Gymnasieuppgifter. There you can also find a detailed explanation of how “Entrepreneurship” meets the curriculum objectives for a range of subjects.

Flipped museum is designed as a platform for museums and schools, but it is possible for all those who are interested to access the material.

The exhibition will be one of the museum’s permanent exhibitions and run until further notice.

The world is full of fantastic entrepreneurs, but unfortunately it was not possible to fit all of them into our exhibition. Those represented have a connection to Sweden and demonstrate different forms of entrepreneurship from various time periods and areas of business. There is an entrepreneur’s wall, where we are able to add more entrepreneurs’ portraits. If you have a suggestion for a person you think definitely should be included, please send it to the Royal Coin Cabinet.

The exhibition was produced by the Royal Coin Cabinet. The project was a collaboration with the Centre for Business History, the Swedish Exhibition Agency, Ung Företagsamhet (a member of JA Worldwide), Thoren Business School and the Swedish Jobs and Society Foundation. The exhibition texts were written by the Royal Coin Cabinet and by the author and writer Anders Johnson. The reference group consist of Anders Johnson and the journalist and historian Lotta Gröning.
