Treasures from Five Continents
The Historical Museum was founded in 1805, but its collection of ethnographic and cultural-historical objects is much older. The collection was concluded around the turn of the 20th century, when the museum shifted its focus primarily to archaeological finds from the region of Skåne.

Liturgical objects
A unique collection of medieval liturgical objects as well as personal belongings with religious motifs are displayed on the third floor of The Historical Museum. The objects are described in the catalogue “Heliga föremål” (Sacred Objects), which is available for purchase at the museum's entrance.

Malmströms collection
The Malmström Collection was donated by the artist and sculptor Henning Malmström to the then Classical Antiquities Museum at Lund University in 1968. Some of the sculptures are likely forgeries, while others are clearly genuine. The collection is currently not on display at the Historical Museum.
