About Vitlycke Museum

Vitlycke Museum is a knowledge and experience center for the World Heritage Site of Tanum's rock carvings and is located 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 open seasonally from April 1 to October in 2026.

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, thus serving as a visitor portal for the World Heritage. The starting point is in 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.
