Bergman Center, Film museum and cultural center in Fårö, Sweden

The Bergman Center occupies the former Fårö West School, a site made up of a 1949 building and the older schoolhouse from the 1820s known as the Gazelian House. Run by the Bergmancenter Foundation, it is devoted to Ingmar Bergman's work on Fårö and hosts the annual Bergman Week.

The director discovered Fårö in 1960 while scouting film locations and went on to shoot seven productions there. The center was established to document and preserve this artistic impact on the island.

The center preserves the legacy of one of cinema's most influential filmmakers through exhibitions and screenings that reveal his creative process. Visitors experience how this artist used the island and its people as inspiration for his works.
