Come and celebrate with us at Vitlycke Museum! It's been 30 years since the rock carvings in Tanum became a World Heritage Site in 1994. In 2024, we have special events to mark this occasion. Join our guided tours and explore the sites with our experts. We will guide you through the unique treasures of the World Heritage Site. You can also wander around at your own pace and discover the unique carvings. Don't forget to stop by our café and shop for a much-needed break.

On this page you will find all ticket information regarding museums run by Region Västra Götaland.

Vitlycke Museum offers guided tours for groups of all sizes. From one-hour tours of the Vitlycke Rock Carvings to four-hour excursions exploring places beyond beaten path, there's something for everyone. Tours must be booked in advance and are subject to weather conditions.

The farm shows a different aspect of the Bronze Age from the rock carvings. The images on the rock carvings do not seem to have much to do with everyday life; there are no depictions of the artists’ homes, their fields or their pigs. But you can see these at Vitlycke Museum’s Bronze Age farm.

On Friday 19th of April, Café Bronze will be closed.

Rock Art Shop: Nature-inspired products with a historical touch.

The World Heritage Site has its own website, providing detailed information about the attractions within the World Heritage site as well as facts about the rock carvings.
