Universeum, Science museum and zoo in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Universeum is a science centre, zoo and aquarium at Korsvägen in Gothenburg, designed by Gert Wingårdh and opened on 8 June 2001. Its sections include Explora on humans and technology, Vattnets Väg with Swedish freshwater fish, Akvariehallen with a 1,400,000-litre shark tank and a 16-metre native marine aquarium, Regnskogen with tropical animals, and Dödliga Skönheter with venomous reptiles. A wooden visualization dome, also by Wingårdh's office, was completed in 2021.

Universeum opened on 8 June 2001 in a building designed by Gert Wingårdh. It was founded jointly by the Gothenburg Region Association of Local Authorities, Chalmers University of Technology, the University of Gothenburg and the West Sweden Chamber of Commerce, and is run by Universeum AB and the Korsvägen Foundation. In 2021 a wooden visualization dome, also designed by Wingårdh's office, was completed as an extension.

The name combines "universe" and "museum", pointing to a building that holds both exhibits and living animals. The centre opened on 8 June 2001 and is run by Universeum AB and the Korsvägen Foundation. It occasionally lets Swedish secondary school students debate with Nobel laureates and professors.

Universeum sits at Korsvägen on Evenemangsstråket, next to the Museum of World Culture and Liseberg, with tram and bus stops at the door. The building by Gert Wingårdh is wheelchair accessible throughout. The Wisdome visualization dome, completed in 2021, is a separate timber addition by the same office.

The location houses Wisdome Gothenburg, one of Sweden's largest visualization domes, which presents three-dimensional shows about space, ecosystems, and other scientific topics. This immersive technology allows visitors to experience scientific concepts from a completely new perspective.
