As I am interested to see local culture and history when traveling I chose this site as a priority. I was not disappointed, although there is a lot of renovation going on at the moment. They have all these original dwellings so obviously they need constant maintenance . I still needed more than 3 hours and did not even take... More

If you like old houses and furnishings, you will love this place. Lots of old buildings gathered from all over the area and furnished to match their era. I liked the variety of time periods and social classes represented-- everything from a farmer's sod house to castle furnishings. Only thing I would pass on was the special presentation on toys--...

If you are interested in learning more about local/national culture, this museum is a must to visit. good location, affordable entrance fee, and a lot to see. Please consider that you will need at least 3 hours to have a basic tour.

Kulturen is one of those strange places where they collect buildings and show them together but out of their natural context. The concept is a little weird. Having said that Kulturen is really well done and very great care has been taken to make it as interesting as possible. Don't miss the excellent museum, worth a visit in itself!

Kulturen is a place I frequently visited with my three sons. It was a great place to while away any afternoon, rain or shine. And in Sweden, it more often than not was raining. The many buildings are interesting to wander. My kids loved the different toys from different eras. Our favorite spot was the cottage with dress-up clothes, a... More

Kulturen provides a fascinating insight into Lund's past, both distant and recent. The exhibitions in the main building are a helpful starting point for those who want the facts and figures, and to see dozens of artefacts unearthed by archaeologists. The buildings outside have been rebuilt more or less from actual buildings of various types and present you with the... More

Allow a full day to look around here. Expensive but well worth the money as every aspect of Swedish cultural history is present in one of the many buildings in the middle of Lund. The only quibble for foreigners is that some of the exhibitions are in Swedish only.

Was closed on my other visits. The front of this Museum is just a big White House - which gives you no idea of what is to come. The museum is a series of houses showing artefacts, old buildings and furnishings, lifestyle of the times. All very accessible. Nice, basic little cafe in the middle. Takes a long time to... More

This is an excellent introduction to the history of this region of Sweden, including rune stones and traditional (and authentic) farm houses. I just think it is slightly overpriced.
