Tjörn Municipality, Island municipality in western Sweden

Tjörn Municipality spans across 845 square kilometers, including 167 square kilometers of land and 678 square kilometers of water surface along Sweden's west coast.

The consolidation of several municipal entities on Tjörn and its surrounding islets formed the current Tjörn Municipality structure in 1952.

The Nordic Watercolour Museum in Skärhamn presents exhibitions of regional and international artists, representing the municipality's connection to visual arts.

The population increases from 16,000 to 30,000 during summer months when visitors arrive for maritime activities in the guest harbors.

The municipality encompasses Sweden's sixth largest island, connected to mainland Stenungsund by the Tjörn Bridge and to Orust Island via Skåpesund Bridge.
