Houses and farmsteads
Every building at Skansen has a story to tell. A story about the time when they were built, and about the people who lived there and how they lived. There are 190 museum buildings at Skansen. The oldest dates from the early 14th century, while the most modern is from the 1950s. Cross the threshold and step into history for a moment.
