Skansen is the worlds first and oldest open air museum, founded in 1891. During this walk you will stroll not only through our wonderful park but also travel in time through Swedens history. Join us in experiencing farmsteads and 18th century mansions, meeting characters in period costume.
Meet Sweden’s wildlife at Skansen
Skansen is home to amazing Nordic wildlife such as moose, lynxes, wolverines, seals, and otters. Several historically interesting, rare native breeds are also part of our park. Just like the buildings and environments that Skansen works to preserve, the native breeds are part of our Swedish cultural heritage and several of them are included in conservation projects. See the wild animals up close and learn more about them during a guided tour with our skilled animal guides.
