Why this matters
There is no institution in the world dedicated to organisational culture. No permanent collection. No public record of the artefacts, rituals, and inherited practices that shaped how work actually felt.
The problem is not effort. It is attention.
Organisations invest enormously in culture. Surveys. Values statements. Engagement programmes. And yet most cannot explain how their culture was formed, what is sustaining it, or what is quietly undermining it.
Culture is not hidden. It lives in the object nobody questioned for three years. The ritual that survived four restructures. The story every new hire gets told before they've formed their own opinion.
We have just stopped looking at it properly.
The Museum of Organisational Culture exists to change that.
The Collection
The founding collection is forming now. Twelve Swedish organisations. One donated artefact each. A permanent record of culture that would otherwise disappear.
Urban Deli. Swish. EY Doberman. Klättermusen. Hyper Island. Seven places still open.

The Book
The Museum You Carry is the catalogue. Six rooms. Countless objects. Every single one recognisable. The kind of book that makes you look differently at the organisation you walked into on Monday morning.
