Uppsala University’s oldest preserved building is a newly renovated museum with an impressive collection of art, as well as historical and scientific objects. Between 5:00 and 8:00 pm, you can explore the exhibitions in an atmospheric setting, enhanced by period music in the Anders Wall Hall, home to the museum’s art collection. Don’t miss the guided tour of the exhibition “Look at Me”. If you can’t make it this evening, Gustavianum will of course be open during regular opening hours for the rest of the week as well.
