Lödöse museum, Archaeological museum in Lilla Edet Municipality, Sweden.

Lödöse Museum is a long, low building of reddish-brown brick behind a wide lawn, with pitched orange-red tiled roofs on its left and right blocks and a flat grey roof over a glass-walled entrance pavilion in the middle. Inside, polished grey concrete floors and exposed wooden beams with track-mounted spotlights frame freestanding glass cases on pale stone bases, holding medieval artefacts and labels.

Lödöse was one of medieval Sweden's most important harbours and the earliest predecessor of Gothenburg. In the early 1960s, when new housing was built over the medieval town, the National Heritage Board excavated more than 150,000 finds. To display them, the museum opened in a basement in 1965 and moved to its present building in 1994.

The museum displays finds from different periods and helps visitors understand how people lived in earlier times. The objects show the daily routines and skills of those who inhabited this region across centuries.

The museum is open several days a week for visitors and requires time to explore the different exhibition areas. Guided tours are available and help explain the archaeological discoveries.

The museum's collection holds over half a million registered entries, including medieval textiles, clothing, weapons and toys, plus a medieval cargo boat that is one of its main attractions. The finds come from excavations of the medieval town that began in the early 1960s, when new housing was built over the old town area.
