Industrial history museum
Welcome to the place who built Sweden!
EXPERIENCE - for real
The ironworks in Avesta is an industrial heritage site of national interest. It is an unusually complete iron production facility, even from an international perspective. Today, the museum Verket is located here, where film, sound, and technology playfully bring the past to life, allowing visitors to trace the journey of iron ore to iron and steel.

Remember
Martin furnace
In the martin furnaces, pig iron and scrap iron are melted during oxygen supply. During the process, additional substances were added which affected the properties of the iron. The product you received was called steel ingot.

Permanent art in Verket
There are a number of fixed works of art and installations in Verket. They are available in various shapes, designs and materials, such as glass sculptures, paintings, built-up rooms, etc. Most have come in place through an Avesta Art year, and have remained there after. Others have found home in the suggestive premises in a different way. All installations are in one way or another completely integrated into the environment.
