Göteborg Natural History Museum was founded in 1923. Its permanent exhibition follows the history of Earth and the evolution of life. Displays include a dinosaur skeleton, fossils and corals. The museum also houses all Nordic bird species, along with birds from other parts of the world.

Visitors can look into Olof Gylling’s preserved dioramas from the 1920s. The programme also includes temporary exhibitions, lectures, guided tours and activities for children. These sit alongside the permanent exhibition, so visitors can explore the displays or take part in a programme event.

Café Malmska Valen serves homemade cakes and lunch. It is environmentally certified under the Västra Götaland Region’s environmental programme. The museum shop sells nature- and animal-themed goods, including eco-friendly cleaning products, toys, jewellery and books. The available information gives no current admission prices or opening times, so check the museum’s own site before planning a visit.
