Museum of Gothenburg, Local museum in central Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Museum of Gothenburg occupies the former East India House building, displaying collections that document 12,000 years of regional history through artifacts and exhibitions.
Founded in 1861 and modeled after London's Victoria and Albert Museum, the institution initially covered natural history, art, science, and industry in its collections.
The museum maintains extensive archives containing photographs, letters, diaries, interviews, newspaper clippings, and publications that chronicle the development of Gothenburg society.
Located at Norra Hamngatan 12, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and features a shop offering products from local designers.
The museum exhibits Äskekärrsskeppet, which stands as the only Viking ship displayed in Sweden, representing maritime heritage from the medieval period.
