Kulturen (Museum of Cultural History)
Tegnérsplatsen
About
After you visit the Lund cathedral, walk across the university grounds to Adelgatan, which the local citizens consider their most charming street. (We agree.) Here you'll find Kulturen, another of Sweden's open-air museums. This one contains reassembled sod-roofed farms and manor houses -- some of which were saved before they disappeared forever -- a carriage museum, ceramics, peasant costumes, Viking artifacts, old handicrafts, and even a wooden church moved to this site from the glassworks district. Established in 1892, it's one of the best organized and maintained open-air museums in Sweden. You can walk back in time in effectively 2 hours -- well spent, especially if you take in the 17th-century houses, still perfectly preserved today. The on-site outdoor restaurant near several runic stones dug up and brought here serves home-cooked Swedish specialties.
