Sjöräddningsmuseet i Kåseberga

This specialized museum displays authentic sea rescue equipment including boats, rocket apparatus, and rescue baskets used by Swedish maritime rescue services throughout different historical periods.

The museum was established in 2007 on the site of a former rescue station that operated from 1944 to 1993, marking Sweden's first organized maritime rescue system.

The museum preserves the maritime heritage of the Skåne region, showcasing the dangerous waters around Sandhammaren where numerous shipwrecks occurred during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The museum offers educational programs for schools and organizations, featuring interactive exhibits and guided tours that explain sea safety techniques and rescue procedures.

The museum houses the historic rescue cruiser N.A. Båth, which served active duty until 2012 and represents decades of Swedish coastal rescue operations.
