Skansen Museum

Sweden

Skansen Museum is located on the island of Julgården. It is the most famous tourist attraction in Stockholm. It shows people the folk life of Sweden in the past from many angles. It covers an area of more than 30 hectares and has 150 houses. Among the houses, there are thatched wooden houses or brick houses in the Sganai area in southern Sweden, conical wooden houses of the Lapps in the north, and church spires and bell towers.

Skansen Museum was built in 1891. In the vast green forest, there are more than 100 farmhouses, churches and other buildings that migrated from all over Sweden. Here you can see the traditional lifestyle and work situation of Sweden. It can be said to be a living museum. This flavor of returning to the past is also reflected in the clothes of the reception and interpretation staff in every place in the park: white aprons, plain white clothes and hats, or a bunch of keys tied around the waist, or really feeding chickens, ducks and piglets outside the house, it really seems to be in the previous century. There are museums within museums in Skansen, the most representative of which are the Postal Museum and the Tobacco Museum. The exquisiteness of their collections is no less than that of any independent museum.
