Länsmuseet Västernorrland

The Bothnian Coast


Part of the Murberget complex, this excellent museum features permanent exhibitions, such as historic photographs of the region and Sami handicraft. Of equal interest are its temporary offerings that change regularly and often include Sami art exhibitions. There's also a cafe and shop on-site. Take bus 2 or 52 from Nybrogatan.
