Wiegand, a family-owned manufacturer of toboggan runs, rail-mounted toboggans and stainless steel dry slides, has provided a spiral double slide for Moderna Museet, a state museum for modern and contemporary art located on the island of Skeppsholmen in central Stockholm, Sweden.
The 39-metre-long installation was officially unveiled on Saturday 4 September 2025. The slide was again designed by long-time Wiegand enthusiast and highly regarded artist Carsten Höller. It features two spiral slides descending from the museum's roof to the street of Slupskjulsvägen.
A fun new installation for Moderna Museet
The slide features a 45-foot height difference. The Moderna Museet describes Carsten Höller as an artist known for creating participatory artworks that merge scientific experiments with sensory play. Höller describes the slide experience as akin to a controlled fall, a 'lustful panic in an otherwise clear mind.'
During the opening weekend, the ride was offered free of charge and remains free for children. Adults aged 19 and older can also experience the slide once with a standard museum admission ticket.
Wiegand's dry slides invite riders to relive their childhood and experience speeds of up to 20km/h. They can be found at venues worldwide, with locations ranging from cruise ships to art installations, shopping centres, hotels, and many more.
Last year, Wiegand created five slide experiences for Royal Caribbean's cruise ship, Utopia of the Seas, including the Ultimate Abyss double slide. The slides, located in the ship's water park area, were launched in July 2024. They include two turbo slides and a bowl slide, all of which feature acrylic sections that enhance the excitement for both riders and spectators.
Other recent projects include a new flagship tourist attraction in Romanshorn, Switzerland, developed in collaboration with architect Susanne Fritz, as well as two new treetop cabins at FÃ¥rup Sommerland in Denmark.
