City Museum (Goteborgs Stadsmuseum)
Established in 1861, City Museum (Goteborgs Stadsmuseum) takes visitors through West Sweden's history from the Viking Age to the present day. The cultural museum sits inside the 18th-century East India House, and an exhibit details the evolution of the company. Artifacts include Viking coins, jewelry, tools, a ship, and an original key to the city gates. Be aware that although displays are very informative and interesting, there is little English signage. The site does offer guided tours, a playroom for children, and a cafe. Work out when and for how long to visit City Museum (Goteborgs Stadsmuseum) and other Gothenburg attractions using our handy Gothenburg trip maker website.

This was our first stop in the City as we were getting used to the layout. Nice museum of the history . There is also a good cafe attached where we stopped for lunch. Would recommend.

Nice museum with interesting stuff in it. However some of the items are prototype. The model box gives you very nice idea about how things was in the old ages. It worth to visit during rainy day!

Well laid out and with all descriptions in English as well as Swedish. We could have spent much longer than the 2 hours we had available. If we had time we would go back.
