Themes for guided tours

In five newly produced exhibitions, a wide selection of items from the university's unique collections is presented. Over the centuries, these collections have evolved and today consist of items from ancient cultures in Egypt and around the Mediterranean, archaeological and historical items from the Nordic region, extensive art and coin collections, as well as numerous scientific instruments. The combination of the historical building's architectural qualities and the exhibitions offers a completely new experience of the museum and its rich cultural heritage.

1. Highlights from the Collections

The tour winds through Gustavianum's new exhibitions where we make well-chosen forays into art, archaeology and the history of science.

The tour also includes Gustavianum's most famous "objects"; The Anatomical theatre and art cabinet from Augsburg.

2. The University's Art Collection

Uppsala University owns one of the country's largest art collections, which was previously only accessible to a limited extent. Now, large parts of this unique collection have moved into Gustavianum. The tour presents a selection of the finest works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The famous art cabinet from Augsburg stands in a central place.
