Gothenburg’s Museikortet is an annual pass which allows for entry into four museums, namely:
Museum of Gothenburg
Röhsska Museum of Design and Craft
Maritime Museum and Aquarium
Gothenburg Museum of Art
We each acquired one of these passes as they allow unlimited entry to all of the museums and it lasts until the end of 2026. Given that the pass costs around £13 this represented cheap entry into the museums even just visiting them once, although I hope to return to the city by the end of the year.
We didn’t visit the Museum of Design and Craft, but we managed to visit the other three museums on our first day in the city. The Museum of Gothenburg is focused on the history of the city, with displays covering the various elements of social, economic, cultural and military heritage. The Maritime Museum was a sizeable building, with the aquarium located in the cellar. And the Museum of Art had substantial collections of artworks, including some internationally important works and some modern art that I didn’t understand.
It’s definitely worth considering buying the card and it has the advantage that you can scan it yourself at a kiosk to avoid waiting in the queues to buy tickets. Although we spent a couple of hours at the three locations we went to, we could have taken much longer in each of them.
