Bergmancenter is a Swedish cultural institution located on Fårö, associated with the artistic legacy of Ingmar Bergman, including the annual Bergmanveckan. The institution is owned and operated by Stiftelsen Bergmancenter på Fårö, which was formed in 2009 by the municipality of Gotland and the association Fårö Framtid. This initiative grew out of project work regarding the annual Bergmanveckan, which has taken place on Fårö since 2004.
The center is housed in the former Fårö västra skola. This site consists of a modern building from 1949 and the original folk school building from the 1820s, known as Gazeliska huset. The school building was donated to the foundation by the municipality of Gotland upon the foundation's creation.
Bergmancenter is currently led by chairperson Jannike Åhlund and operations manager Cristina Jardim Ribeiro. The museum is open to the public with specific seasonal hours, including daily openings from June 1 to August 31 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m, and specific weekend hours during the other months of the year.
