Fantastic regional museum. Admission is free. Has a variety of exhibits including displays of early and modern history of the area. Also galleries with the work of local artists. Nice cafe, which looks out over the river.

What a pearl Uddevalla has produced here, something of interest for all tastes. I felt I learned so much about the history of this fascinating area covering many hundreds of years,it definitely shows how resilient mankind is & how it can overlive not just 1 disaster but many and come out of it stronger & more prosperous. On top of the exhibition it also has a wonderful small restaurant producing food of all varieties out of the norm, do not miss the total experience of this wonderful museum

A diverse, well displayed and interesting museum centrally located in what is otherwise a non-descript town. It's free to enter and there is plentiful and good value pay and display parking on its doorstep, toilets, a small restaurant and shop. I'd guess about 30% of the information is also in English, but the highly visual nature of many of the exhibitions makes this a good visit for kids, especially on a day the weather isn't all that great.

Santa Maria in Trastevere

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. 

The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.

The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.
