The Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Hall serves as a platform for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between research and museum practice, and for sharing knowledge with museum visitors.

- Research often ends up in its own bubble, without the public being able to access it. This is a way to make the research in our collections available to more people," says Nina Due, Director of the museum.

The Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Hall will also serve as a reading room, featuring international journals and digital resources on topics such as Nordic designers. Research projects will also be presented in the hall. To kick things off, Dr. Christian Björk’s research on the interior design firm Boet and the furniture designer and entrepreneur Otto Schulz—made possible by the Torsten Söderberg Foundation—will be presented.

Some of the furnishings in Torsten and Wanja Söderberg’s hall are inspired by the designs of recipients of the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Nordic Prize in Design and Crafts.  

The Torsten Söderberg Foundation has contributed to the completion of the hall through a donation to the museum.
