Måltidens Hus is a centre for food, drink, and the art of dining. The building houses two different organisations with distinct operations. Örebro University offers higher education and conducts research in culinary arts.
In 1992, during the World Expo in Seville, Måltidens Hus represented Sweden in Spain. The pavilion, with its uniquely designed ceiling adorned with an aurora borealis by artist Gösta Wessel, features a roof formation intended to resemble a Mediterranean palace meeting a Swedish barn. Before the house's inauguration in 1994, it was relocated from Spain to Bergslagen, where it was reassembled on Campus Grythyttan.
