About the school
Learn more about Musikinstrumentakademien.
The school is situated in a scenic part of Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, in a relaxing, inspiring environment. Travelling to and from the school is easy and there are good commuter rail links. The train journey takes about 30 minutes from Stockholm Central Station.
The school's specially equipped premises buzz with creative activity at the workbenches, in the machine shop and in the finishing areas. All students have their own workspace with their own hand tools where they receive individual guidance from experienced teachers.
Most students eat in the school kitchenette, where they can heat their own meals. Otherwise there are several neighbourhood restaurants to choose from.
We share the premises with the cabinetmaker programme and Folkuniversitetet's courses in cabinetmaking.
Starting in the autumn term of 2025, the program will be located in brand-new facilities at Kräftriket, near Stockholm University.
At Kräftriket, Musikinstrumentakademien is housed in bright, heritage-listed buildings by the scenic Brunnsviken bay—where old traditions meet new visions. We share the premises with several other vocational and university-preparatory arts programs, as well as aesthetic courses and Balettakademien.
The 3,500 square meters include five studios, four dance halls, animation studios, a sound studio, multiple project rooms, a sculpture studio, woodworking workshop, theory classrooms, an auditorium, and a student kitchenette. These facilities offer the best possible conditions and an inspiring environment for creativity in a wide range of artistic disciplines.
Kräftriket also offers walking paths, parks, a swimming jetty, and an outdoor gym just around the corner—all in close proximity to central Stockholm. The fastest way to reach us is by bus 50 (7 minutes from Odenplan), or by subway to the University station. We’re surrounded by Stockholm University, the Accelerator art gallery, and the Naprapath School. Just a short walk away are KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institute. Together, we form a place where new ideas take shape!
