Mountings, “Völund”, Object number: 32146:13360
Welcome to the Historical Museum at Lund University! The museum was founded in its present form in 1805 and has one of the country's largest archaeological collections. These collections contain objects from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times. In addition to this, we have anatomical, ethnographic, and ecclesiastical collections.
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.
