Swedish canon

The Swedish canon is a 2025 collection of 100 works important for the culture of Sweden up to 1975; fifty years before the compilation.

It contains institutions such as the Right to access, Vasaloppet and IKEA in Älmhult, as well as buildings, and works of art, literature, theatre, film and music.

The committée's list is neither intended to be an objective measure of quality, nor to exclude works not mentioned; instead they have an ambition to raise awareness for works and cultural expressions related to the canon. Vast are the spaces of time over which the science of history, with the help of archaeology, has shed light. More than 6,000 years of the existence of the Swedish people have been conquered from the darkness of oblivion by workers in these fields of research.
