Åkerimuseet

About the museum

The Åkerihistoriska sällskapet (ÅHS, Haulage History Society) was formed in 1992 and is part of the association Sveriges Åkeriföretag (Swedish Haulage Companies). The society looks after a collection that shows how Swedish hauliers built up the modern transport society during the 20th century, from horse and cart to today's high-tech goods vehicles.

Åkerimuseet opened in 2004 in Brocenter in Olofström. When the premises there were to be used for other purposes, the choice fell on Örebro and the premises of Laxo Mekan, and since autumn 2021 the museum has been based in Örebro. At the opening 50–60 visitors came, and among the objects is a unique Kalmar Terminal.

The museum shares premises with Laxo Mekan in Gryts industrial area and is staffed by dedicated volunteers. It is not permanently staffed but opens once a month.
