RÖHSS MUSEUM (RÖHSSKA MUSEET)

Opened in 1916, the Röhss Museum is dedicated to decorative arts and design. The approximately 50,000 design, decorative arts and fashion artifacts that make up the permanent collection come primarily from Scandinavia and Europe, but also from Greek antiquity and the Far East. They were selected not for their historical significance or the symbolic value they fulfilled in their time, but for their aesthetic value and technical qualities.
