About Vitlycke Museum

Vitlycke Museum is a knowledge and experience center for the World Heritage Site of Tanum's rock carvings near Tanumshede. The museum is an international destination and operates both outdoors at the World Heritage's rock carving areas, in the Bronze Age Farm, and inside the building. Vitlycke Museum will be seasonally open from April 1 to October 31, 2025. Our mission includes working with information, programs, tours, and knowledge development based on the World Heritage Convention and the rock carvings.

Our program activities aim to make it easy to get to know and learn more about the rock carvings and increase accessibility to the World Heritage Site. The starting point is the Bronze Age and the rock carving images but spans over an 8,000-year-long epoch of human presence in the World Heritage area. We strive for authenticity and to create a sense of community in our operations, a living cultural environment, and actively work to develop our core knowledge area during the upcoming period.

An important part of our operations is our café, Café Bronze. Here we serve snacks and meals, cold and hot drinks.
