Blekinge County Museum

Blekinge Museum is a regional museum that was founded in 1899. Since 1972 it is housed in Grevagården, one of the oldest buildings and the only remaining town farm in Karlskrona. Grevagården was completed 1705 as the home of Admiral General Count Wachtmeister, one of the founders of Karlskrona.

Since Blekinge is a marked coastal county with an archipelago, the maritime heritage is a chief focus. Blekinge museum has had two traditional wooden boats (to rent for anyone) built by the last professional boat builder in the county. In 2009, a storehouse open to the public was inaugurated at the new museum annex Rosenholm. Here, the largest collection of traditional local boats in Sweden is on display.
