Örebro läns museum


The Länsmuseum has strong and topical temporary exhibits – for example, a collection of protest posters from the ‘60s, or a consideration of the era’s clothing and home furnishings as cultural indicators. It’s also home to a permanent collection of artwork grouped by theme, and historical displays about the region (mostly in Swedish). The grounds are often dotted with sculptures or outdoor art installations.
