Gamla Uppsala museum is a historical museum in Gamla Uppsala, in the northern part of Uppsala, Sweden. [2]

The museum is oriented towards the Vendel era and Viking Age history of Gamla Uppsala. Gamla Uppsala was a major religious and cultural centre in Sweden during these eras as well as medieval Sweden between approximately the 5th and the 13th centuries, housing the famous pagan Temple at Uppsala and several large burial mounds. The museum building was designed by architect Carl Nyrén (1917– 2011). The museum opened in 2000 and is run by the Swedish National Heritage Board (Swedish:Riksantikvarieämbetet).[1][3]
