Welcome to Östergötland's Museum - a vibrant meeting place that not only preserves and displays art and cultural history but also invites visitors to guided tours, cultural events, workshops, museum shop, conferences as well as study circles and networks. We also conduct business operations in archaeology, conservation, building preservation and restaurant services. Our vision is to give our visitors experiences that surprise - do you want to be part of making that happen?
Our reception is a very important place. It is where visitors first meet our operations and is the hub for information and service to our guests. As an employee here, you are the museum's public face and your primary task is to make our visitors feel welcome during their visit and want to return to us.
