Borgholm City Museum
The City Museum Borgholm ( Swedish Borgholms stadsmuseum ) is a museum in the city of Borgholm on the Swedish Baltic island of Öland . It is often referred to as Ölands forngård ( German Öland's old farm ).
The museum is located in an old bourgeois courtyard in the southern part of the city at Tullgatan 22 . The courtyard, dominated by a splendid main building, was built at the beginning of the 19th century.
In addition to the typical furnishings of the Bürgerhof, the museum deals with topics from the industrial and railway history of Öland, as well as the history of the town of Borgholm. Other focuses are archaeological finds on Öland and the rural culture of the island. Also on display are collections of Öland art and handicrafts.
The museum is only open in the summer season.
