MAKE A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME TO THE WORLD OF THE BRONZE AGE!

Vitlycke museum is a knowledge and experience center in Tanum World Heritage site - an area of about 600 rock art sites. Here you can experience world class rock art and explore the Bronze Age world. Join a guide or walk by yourself among the carvings and reconstructed Bronze Age buildings. At the museum you will find a cafe, shop and an exhibition that is a dramatic story for the whole family.

Follow one of our guides to the Vitlycke carving, one of the largest and the most famous site in the World heritage area. The guide will discuss the 3000 years old images, the people that made them and the Bronze Age landscape.

In addition to the activities led by the Vitlycke Museum guides, there is much you can do on your own at the museum and in World Heritage area: explore the rock carvings and our exhibitions, rent a bike and search for geocaches. There are two apps that can guide you through the area: the World Heritage guide and Empire of the sun.

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.

Vitlycke Museum offers guided tours and presentations for groups of different sizes. They are designed for both private individuals and companies, bus tour operators and, not least, schools. You can get anything from a brief 30-minute introduction to the World Heritage Site to a four-hour guided tour, visiting carvings that are far from roads and tourist routes.
