Forum Museum Rönnskär

Forum Museum Rönnskär is located inside the industrial area in Skelleftehamn where the smelter Rönnskär is located. Rönnskär is one of the world's most efficient copper smelters and is a world leader in the recycling of copper and precious metals from electronic scrap.

The museum depicts the more than 80-year history that affects the smelter, the archipelago area and the village, from the very first gold find in 1924 in Fågelmyran outside Boliden to today's unique smelter.

Here there are exhibitions about gold and the Rönnskär smelter, but also about the people.

You get an opportunity to get to know personalities who are connected to the area and the history of the company Boliden. For example, Ivar Kreuger, financier and majority owner of Boliden, was active in the 30s, but also our now world-famous author Stieg Larsson, was the grandson of the worker Severin Boström. The neighborhoods in Skelleftehamn that grew out of the Rönnskärsverket's development are namely Stieg's birthplace.
