World War II Museum
North of Helsingborg and east of Domsten, there is an exciting museum that is partly located in an underground military installation from 1940. The museum gives visitors an insight into what life was like in Sweden during the Second World War. The 400 sq m underground action information centre displays photos and objects from the Second World War. There are also heavy cannons, and a 40s café in an aircraft hangar.

The Fishing and Maritime Museum
The small, picturesque Råå just south of Helsingborg was once Sweden´s biggest fishing hamlet, and, naturally, the harbour has a fishing and maritime museum, Råå museum, with fishing boats and equipment, ship models, figureheads and much more. You can go into a cabin and a fisherman´s cottage, and see an old-fashioned ship store.

The Medical History Museum
The museum is located in the old children´s hospital that dates from 1888. The architecture is characterised by the two round wards. The museum contains equipment from the wards throughout the 20th century.

The Sports Museum
Helsingborg has an impressive sports history. The glorious achievements of footballer Kalle Svensson and Formula One driver Gunnar Nilsson are documented at the museum. There is of course also extensive material about Henrik Larsson including Risto Karvinen´s wooden statue of him.
