Bohuslän Museum, Local museum in Uddevalla, Sweden

The Bohuslän Museum is a foundation-run regional museum whose main building stands centrally in the harbour town of Uddevalla. It covers the history, nature and culture of Bohuslän and also holds an art gallery, a museum shop and a restaurant focused on the province's food traditions. Its collections comprise objects, stories, photographs, films and archival records, plus an art collection, archaeological finds and natural specimens.

The museum was founded to preserve the history of Bohuslän, with archives tracing back to 1862. These collections document the lives of individuals, farms, societies, and the region's significant shipbuilding industry.

The museum displays maritime rock carvings that reveal how early inhabitants lived and worked along the coast. These artworks show the deep connection between the region's people and the sea throughout time.

The museum offers a large library with around 27,000 volumes and computer stations with searchable databases of historical records. Researchers and genealogists will especially benefit from these resources for finding information about the region.

The museum publishes nearly 300,000 digitised objects (2023) through DigitaltMuseum, Kringla and Europeana, so much of the collection can be searched online. Its holdings span objects, stories, photographs, films, archival records, art, archaeological finds and natural specimens.
