The museum is now showing ”The Gods and the Rock”, an exhibit about the gods of the Bronze Age, and the religious beliefs that 3,000 years ago gave rise to the rock carvings still visible today. The exciting computer animation ”And where was the sea” re-creates and illustrates how the land has risen over the millennia, to give us an idea of the landscape at the time of the Bronze Age people. Life on the Bronze Age Farm, located adjacent to the museum, shows how people managed their day-to-day activities during that time, for instance how they cooked, cast bronze and made pottery. The buildings are full-scale reproductions from the early and late Bronze Age.
In addition to the museum, the World Heritage Site at Tanum features four magnificent rock panels covered with carvings. The largest and most famous of these is the Vitlycke panel, located inside the museum area, into which thousands of symbols and images have been carved.
