Upplandsmuseet

Upplandsmuseet occupies a former mill building standing beside the Fyrisån river and displays objects and exhibitions exploring the region's development. The building contains different exhibition spaces that cover various aspects of local life and heritage.

The museum was founded in 1768 and has used a building that originally operated as a mill. The structure was later transformed into an institution dedicated to preserving the region's cultural heritage.

The museum plays a role in how visitors understand local identity, showing everyday objects and stories of people who lived in the region. Displays reveal how communities functioned and what mattered to inhabitants across different periods.

The museum sits in a central location within the city and is reasonably accessible on foot. Visitors should plan for regular opening hours and check ahead if they need specific access services or assistance.

The museum holds over 1,000 objects that tell personal stories of people from different time periods. These collected items offer a window into how ordinary people lived their daily lives across centuries.
