Upplands Museum, located in Uppsala County, Sweden, serves as the county museum dedicated to preserving and researching the cultural history and archaeology of the region, including the city of Uppsala. The museum is housed in Akademikvarnen, a former water mill built in 1768 on the Fyris River, which operated until 1946 before being converted into the museum in the late 1950s. Its permanent exhibitions cover the history of Uppsala city, Uppsala Cathedral, and student life at Uppsala University, reflecting the area's rich heritage. The museum also manages several branch sites, including the open-air Disagården in Gamla Uppsala and Walmstedtska gården in the Karin district.

Historie
Upplands Museum originated from the efforts of the Uppland Antiquities Association in the early 20th century, with formal establishment in 1909.
Initially located at Uppsala Castle, the museum's collections were later deposited at Uppsala University's Museum of Nordic Antiquities in 1922 to increase public access.
The museum faced significant space challenges, especially after leaving Gustavianum in 1946, until it was relocated to the restored Akademikvarnen water mill in 1959.
Over the decades, the museum expanded its collections and branch sites, including acquiring the open-air museum Disagården in 1970 and Gamla Uppsala Museum in 2022.
Since 1993, the museum has been jointly managed by Region Uppsala and the Uppland Antiquities Association.
