This museum is a must-see in Gothenburg. It contains a slew of well-laid-out exhibits filled to the brim with artifacts. My favorite exhibit by far was the Viking exhibit. The ship, of course, was absolutely incredible to see and was also the only one you could see in Sweden. But, the other artifacts were incredible as well. The axes, beads, and coins were all beautifully displayed and were of very high quality and condition.
Even though I thought that was the best exhibit, this doesn't take away from the rest of the museum. The walk-through of Medieval Gothenburg, again filled with interesting artifacts, was informative and quite endless. There was a milieu of medieval weaponry and armor, as well as a great collection of paintings.
As time progressed, my eyes started to glaze over. There was a ton to see here, but you can only appreciate it so much before needing a break. To me, the exhibitions displaying the more recent history of Gothenburg were interesting, but not in the same way as the older ones. There were locations where you could write on sticky notes and put them up under a question to answer them, which resulted in an interesting display of human behavior: some took them very seriously, some the exact opposite, but you still came away with a unique perspective of Gothenburg.
