The [[Rock Carvings in Tanum|rock carvings at Tanum]] have been declared a [[United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization|UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]]. The heritage area is located around the seat of [[Tanumshede]], covering an area of 18&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.

Most carvings show men and ships. Several show animals such as oxen and horses.

Tanum Municipality has made its rock carving the subject of its [[coat of arms]].

The [[Greby|Greby grave field]], the largest [[grave field]] in Bohuslän, lies near the locality of [[Grebbestad]].

Tanum is one of the first municipalities to require [[urine separation]] toilets to help combat the looming global shortage of [[phosphorus]].
