Exhibitions

At Västergötlands museum, we create curiosity.

In our permanent exhibitions you will meet people, environments and fascinating phenomena. Who do you want to meet? A young girl in a prehistoric Västergötland, a merchant from medieval Skara or perhaps a strong, adventurous artist working in Paris in the 20th century?

If that is not enough to pique your interest you should take your time to see one of our temporary exhibitions. They vary in time and content, but are often built on our vast collections of items. In fact, it is one of the largest museum collections in Sweden.
