Östergötlands Museum
About

Östergötlands Museum in Linköping is a leading cultural institution that presents the rich heritage of the Östergötland region through art, archaeology, and cultural history. Housed in a functionalist building from 1939, the museum offers a mix of permanent and temporary exhibitions that span 11,000 years of human presence in the region, from prehistoric settlements to contemporary life. Visitors can explore “The Road Here,” a cultural‑historical journey through Östergötland’s past, alongside “Realities,” an art exhibition examining how people depict themselves and their surroundings. The museum also features “Treasures of the Orient,” showcasing objects from Egypt, China, Japan, and ancient Persia, and “The World of Will,” an imaginative environment designed for families. Its renovated spaces include a rooftop‑terrace restaurant, a museum shop, studios, and areas dedicated to research, conservation, and archives. Recognised as Sweden’s Museum of the Year in 2023, Östergötlands Museum serves as both a guardian of regional identity and a vibrant cultural hub in the heart of Linköping.
