Örebro County Museum: Art and Cultural History

Published June 18, 2021 / Updated September 3, 2026
The Örebro County Museum is one of the oldest county museums in Sweden, with its roots in an association founded as early as 1856. Since then, much has happened in Sweden, around the world, and in Örebro County. And the museum has kept pace with the times.

The building that houses the Örebro County Museum is currently undergoing extensive renovations and is therefore closed to visitors. The plan is to open the newly renovated museum and a series of new exhibitions in late 2027. Learn more about everything that’s happening and coming up on the Örebro County Museum’s website.

While the museum is undergoing renovations, you can still enjoy its exhibits in other ways. One example is the Mobile Museum, which travels to schools, markets, local heritage centers, and other venues. There is also an app that offers guided walking tours of downtown Örebro, Karlskoga, and the Siggebohyttan mining village, among other attractions.
