The Wurlitzer organ was found, in poor condition, in the attic of Stockholm Town Hall in 2005. A renovation project started and now, in 2017, the organ is playable. The organ is now located in a former reactor hall att the Stockholm University of Technology (KTH). See: http://www.skandiaorgeln.com/

The Skandia opened on 20th September 1923. A Wurlitzer 2 Manual/7 Rank theatre organ was installed in 1926, opened by Willard Ringstrand. The organ was later moved to Stockholm Town Hall.

The Skandia was re-named Look from 1968 and had its seating capacity reduced to 687.
