The museum showcases an extensive collection spanning from the Prehistoric to Hellenistic eras, featuring bronze and marble statues, funeral offerings, ancient coins, clay pottery, golden jewellery, and fragments from ancient temples. Among the notable exhibits is the awe-inspiring Medusa pediment from the temple of Artemis, dating back to 585 BC. Additionally, visitors can marvel at the stone lion of Menecrates, a likely funeral offering to the renowned politician, a limestone pediment from the temple of Dionysus, 13 identical small statues of goddess Artemis, and a marble torso of Apollo.

Inaugurated in 1811, Gamla Stenbron, in Swedish Östra Bron, is the longest stone arch bridge in Sweden which, with its 168 meters, is considered a city landmark in Karlstad.

This ghostly but picturesque hill village has been abandoned since 1822, when its 400 inhabitants chose to throw themselves from its 300 meter high cliff rather than fall into Turkish hands during the genocide following the revolt against Ottoman rule.
