You wouldn’t know it from the outside, but this discreet-looking former schoolhouse from the early 1900s is a rock, blues or jazz fan’s idea of heaven.

This museum that opened during Umeå’s recent spell as Capital of Culture has more than 500 electric guitars, mostly from the 1950s and 1960s.

Connoisseurs can size up some extremely rare instruments like a Les Paul from 1960, a Gibson Flying V from ’58 and a Fender Broadcaster from 1950.
