Västernorrland County Museum

Other very important activities concern the preservation of old buildings and the care of the county's cultural heritage environments and archaeological sites, a work that is carried out in collaboration with the County Administrative Board of Västernorrland (Swedish: Länsstyrelsen Västernorrland).

After Bishop Landgren's death in 1888, the museum society led a waning existence for two decades.

In 1909 Theodor Hellman initiated Föreningen för norrländsk hembygdsforskning (English: The Association for Northern Homeland Research).

The great role model at the time was Skansen in Stockholm, created by Artur Hazelius.

In 1947, the former's son Bo Hellman took over as director of the museum, and during his time the urban development at Murbergstorget was added.
