Murberget Länsmuseet Västernorrland, Regional museum in Härnösand, Sweden.
Murberget Länsmuseet Västernorrland is a regional museum in Härnösand with indoor exhibition spaces and historical structures displayed outdoors. The site includes archives, conservation workshops, and an extensive open area featuring relocated buildings and environments from past centuries.
The Västernorrland County Museum Society was founded in Härnösand in 1880 on the initiative of Bishop Lars Landgren, forming the basis of today's museum. In 1913 school inspector Theodor Hellman established the open-air museum at Murberget, whose first building was a bell tower from Ullånger. The county received its own museum building in 1994, designed by architect Gunnar Mattsson, and the museum took its current name in 2018.
The museum displays how people lived in this region over time through objects, photographs, and creative works. Visitors experience the daily lives and traditions of communities from the surrounding provinces.
The museum is open most days of the week, allowing visitors to explore exhibits at their own pace throughout the site. A café and shop are located in the main building for refreshments and souvenirs.
A church building in the outdoor section was constructed between 1925 and 1929 to show how religious structures once looked. This recreated building is part of a complete village setting that represents daily life from centuries past.
