Biological Museum

In the center of Örebro, just a stone’s throw from the castle, is the Karolinska gymnasium, which dates back to the 14th century.

The northernmost building, called Siberia, houses the school’s Biological Museum. The museum was opened in 1864 and still shows how school museums of the time were structured. The museum houses a large number of mammals as well as around 1000 birds, most mussels and shells, and collections of bird eggs and insects.

Book a guided tour of the Biological Museum as a group and discover an exciting collection full of interesting history.
