The collections and history of the Röhsska Museum

The aim of the research project is to investigate and analyze the Röhsska Museum's background and collections from a cultural analysis perspective. The focus is on the intersection between issues of cultural heritage, historical use, and collection policy at the beginning of the 20th century. The project contributes to making the Röhsska Museum's extensive collections visible and accessible to both researchers and visitors and contributes to the museum's own knowledge building. The study lays the foundation for a deeper understanding of the museum's background and growth and the object collections the museum currently manages. Within the project, the museum's extensive 18th century collections are now highlighted for closer study.
