Röhsska museet

Röhsska museet, Design museum in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Röhsska Museum is a design museum in Gothenburg that displays approximately 50,000 objects ranging from ancient Chinese work to modern Nordic furnishings. The collection spans furniture, textiles, and industrial design across different periods and cultures.

The museum was founded in 1904, when Gothenburg adopted its statutes, and opened to the public in 1916. Its funding came from a 1901 donation of 250,000 kronor from the estate of consul Wilhelm Röhss, supplemented by 180,000 kronor from his brother August Röhss for acquisitions. The first curator was Axel Nilsson, who also took part in the building's construction.

The museum displays how everyday objects like furniture and textiles changed their form and meaning over time. Visitors can see how Nordic and international designers responded to daily needs with new ideas.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended evening hours on Thursdays. A combined ticket provides access to multiple museums in the city and saves time when visiting several locations.

The museum's ex libris, designed in 1958 by artist Göran Boström, shows one of the East Asian foo dogs that have flanked the entrance since 1916. The two dogs outside today are copies; the 17th-century originals are kept indoors.
