Bornholm Museum is a cultural history museum located in Rønne, Denmark. The museum collects, preserves, researches, and exhibits artifacts in order to raise awareness of Bornholm's cultural heritage.

History

The museum's association was first founded in 1893. The museum provides a historic view of Rønne and the island of Bornholm, from the Paleolithic era to the modern age, including the history of occupied Bornholm during World War II. The museum also houses a number of Nordic Bronze Age and Iron Age artifacts relating to the island conducing. The Bornholm Archaeological Research Center (BARC) is a research branch of the museum. BARC conducts archaeological surveys and excavations in the surrounding areas with the intent of disseminating and conserving Bornholm's heritage within the context of the wider Baltic Region. Each summer, BARC–in partnership with the Institute for Field Research–hosts a field school for university students at the Vasagård site in southern Bornholm.
