Gävleborg County Museum

Gävleborg County Museum, Regional museum in Gävle, Sweden.

The Gävleborg County Museum is a regional museum in Gävle displaying Swedish art, craftwork, textiles, and archaeological finds in dedicated exhibition spaces. The rooms present objects from different fields that together illustrate the regional past.

The institution began in 1933 when Philibert Humbla was hired by the Gästrike-Hälsinge Hembygdsförbund for heritage work. In 1940 the Gävle Museum opened after a donation from the Rettig family, in a building by city architect Sven Wranér modelled on the von Plessen palace in Copenhagen. It took its present name in 1978 to reflect a regional remit.

The collection tells the story of how people lived and worked in this region through everyday objects and traditional crafts. Visitors get a sense of daily life across different periods in Gävleborg County.

The museum stands at Södra Strandgatan 20 in central Gävle, near the Gavleån river. The entrance hall holds the Studio exhibition room for children and young people, and a large raised-bed garden on the museum grounds is rented out to individuals and associations. The building reopened on 21 October 2017 after renovation.

The museum building was designed by city architect Sven Wranér to resemble the von Plessen Palace in Copenhagen, following the wish of donor Antonie Rettig that it look like her sister's palace. It was built by C. P. Lindbom & Son.
