These lovely landmark matchboxes have simple yet playful black and white illustrations of various architectural styles and maps. These landmark matchboxes are awesome but don’d be gifting them to any firestarters (it might give them bad ideas).
Together the landmark matchboxes form a small, illustrated city (albeit a city also rich in architectural history and points of interest). The landmark matchboxes are sold at the gift shop in the Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm. Not suitable for pyros.
