The history of the Röhsska Museum is part of the cultural history of Gothenburg, but also of Sweden. Röhsska has played a significant role in shaping the Swedish view of crafts, design, handicrafts and good form. There is a lack of research and compiled expertise on the emergence of the Röhsska Museum and the creation of its collections, which is regrettable as this is an important social institution that has had a major influence on crafts, design and design as well as on society in general. In this respect, the Röhsska Museum differs from, for example, the National Museum and the Nordic Museum, for which thorough historical studies exist. There is a knowledge gap that should be filled. The aim is to study, analyze and compile the history and development of the Röhsska Museum in a monographic work where the description and analysis of people, events and stories will form the basis for a better understanding of today's museum. It is also of importance for other researchers to have the opportunity to study the past and emergence of the Röhsska Museum. Illuminating the history of the Röhsska Museum can help to find new ways of approaching the collections and one's own history.
