About Upplandsmuseet

Discover the history of Uppsala and Uppland!

Upplandsmuseet is the county museum of Uppland, located in the heart of Uppsala. Housed in the eighteenth-century Academy Mill (Akademikvarnen) on the banks of the River Fyris, the museum tells the story of Uppsala and the wider region of Uppland through engaging permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Discover the people, places and traditions that have shaped the region from prehistory to the present day. Children can explore the museum through Little Mill (Lilla kvarn), an interactive exhibition created especially for young visitors.
