These are some of the 500 images that were carved in Tanum, Sweden, during the Bronze Age period 1800 to 500 BC.

One of the flat rocks reaches over 22 meters and is maybe the most well known single rockcarving, and most visited. 

The museum also features a reconstructed Bronze Age farm where you can see the living quarters of the rockcarvers.

The rock carvings has been inscribed on UNESCO's world heritage list with the motivation that:

The rock carvings of the Tanum region constitute an outstanding example of Bronze Age art of the highest quality.

The range of motifs provides exceptional evidence of many aspects of life in the European Bronze Age.

These magnificent pictures, some carved 3000 years ago, bear a unique testimony to the Bronze Age world.

Not only do they make vivid this lost and distant time to us, but these powerful images also have the ability to speak directly to the modern onlooker.

Their subject matters remain unwaveringly pertinent to our human existence, affording us, perhaps,

a new language with which to consider the eternal questions of life and death.

The most famous single image is the so called bridal couple.
