IKEA Museum is the story of IKEA. In the past, in the present and into the future. We are located in Älmhult, Sweden. We offer visitors the opportunity to experience and explore the history and development of the IKEA business from a number of different perspectives.

To review facts, conduct certain research and maintaining the digital and physical structure lies also in the assignment.
