Universeum is a public science centre, zoo and public aquarium in Gothenburg, Sweden that opened in 2001. It is a part of Evenemangsstråket, the thoroughfare of events – close to Korsvägen and Skånegatan – which includes sights of interest like Scandinavium, Ullevi, Svenska Mässan (Swedish Exhibition Centre), Liseberg and the Museum of World Culture.

Universeum is divided into six sections, each containing experiment workshops and some of them with exhibits for reptiles, fish, insects and other animals. Universeum occasionally gives Swedish secondary school students a chance to debate with Nobel Prize-winners and professors.
