Skansen Village Museum

Skansen, Skansen Open Air Museum
Sweden, Stockholm
Skansen is an open-air ethnographic museum complex, a museum-village located on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm. Founded by Arthur Hazelius on October 11, 1891.

Currently, more than 150 houses and estates of the 18th - 20th centuries are represented in Skansen, in which the situation has been preserved, showing how people of various social origins lived in those days in different parts of Sweden. Caretakers of the houses, dressed in period costumes, can guide visitors through the rooms and tell about the exhibits. There is also a menagerie in Skansen, where both wild and domestic animals of Sweden live. Near the entrance to Skansen, there is the Biological Museum related to it, and inside there is the Skansen Aquarium. Many holidays are celebrated in Skansen every year.

The beginning of November is not the best time to visit: only two of the many skansen houses were open. : (I really liked the menagerie with funny clumsy bears. Also on the territory of the skansen there is a playground with attractions for children, but, apparently, due to the low season, it also did not function. I think it's best to come here during some holidays or in the summer, then the museum will be less sleepy. Entrance to the museum is not very expensive given the vast area - 100 SEK (about 10 euros) Skansen is worth it to spend a whole day here, so if you are visiting Stockholm for the first time on a day visit, leave familiarity with the museum next time.
