Forum Museum Rönnskär tells the story of the Rönnskär smelter and the development of industry in the Skelleftehamn area. Its exhibitions cover the period from the first gold find in Fågelmyran in 1924 to today’s modern smelter. They include stories about gold, metal production and recycling, as well as people who have lived and worked in the area over the years.

The museum is within Skelleftehamn’s industrial area, where the Rönnskär works are today. The exhibitions also follow how discoveries in Boliden affected people and society. This gives visitors a route through the area’s industrial history, from the gold find and its consequences to the present-day smelter and its production. The visit is therefore centred on the exhibitions and the stories they tell about work and life in the area.

There are no fixed visiting days or times, and the museum does not take drop-in visitors. You need to book your visit in advance. The available information gives no admission price or visit duration, so plan around a booking rather than a set public opening schedule.
