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.

It's a good place to visit over weekends. Not too crowded except the kids play area. You could easily spend 2-3 hours here. If you are planning to visit other museums in Gothenburg then you should also consider getting the membership card.

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!
