To carry out our mission in art, culture, nature and cultural heritage, the core operations have two departments: Art and Culture, and Nature and Cultural Heritage, with each department divided into several units. The Nature and Cultural Heritage department operates six museums and attractions. To coordinate cross-cutting issues across the entire administration, we work in a matrix structure, including our work with municipalities, children and youth, collections management, and Agenda 2030. Description At the Museum of Medical History, you can learn how views on illness and health have changed over time. Revolutionary discoveries have led to both progress and setbacks. Science has stood against culture and tradition. Ideas and ideals have inspired, but also hindered medical development. The museum's core exhibition Fire and Blood depicts Gothenburg's medical history over 400 years. From the first hospitals through revolutionary medical breakthroughs to the expansive building projects of the post-war era. Personal stories and life destinies, together with unique objects, give visitors insight into different eras' views of humanity, treatment methods and living conditions. The collections consist of instruments, equipment, furniture, art, textiles and more from the 1700s onwards with a concentration on the early 1900s. The Museum of Medical History (MHM) has an extensive backlog in terms of its object collection documentation. The collections contain an estimated 50,000 objects, of which only 6,800 are registered. During 2026, the transition to the collections management system Primus is underway, moving from physical card catalog and local Access database.
