Unusual and comprehensive. Too much to manage at one visit though the ticket is valid all day, but I was overloaded after a couple of hours or so and had skimmed plenty of the exhibits. Quite expensive entry if you can't do it in one visit. More

A great experience. The museums collection and exhibits are expertly curated and provide not-only a historical view of Sweden, but also of other cultures. More

Before entering the building, we thought this can't be much, since the building wasn't as big as expected. However, this is a misunderstanding, since the museum is both inside and outside in open air. Inside you get a clear vision of what happened in Lund over the centuries. It has special rooms/exhibitions on China and the wars. Once you go... More

This is a must see if you're visiting Lund. These are all old houses that have been refurbished back to their authentic decor and placed in a little village. You can walk through the village and into each little house, where there will be information about the house. In the wooden boxes outside, there are also old fashioned games to... More

Kulturen is interesting and has a bit of something for everyone. However, they have raised the admission prices so that it is not worth the price unless you have some time to spend. This is unfortunate as even a short time there is enriching. More

We really enjoyed walking through this outdoor museum. The buildings inside and out give a real sense of life in Sweden from the farm house to the burgers house. If you enjoy museums I definitely recommend you plan to spend a few hours walking through. Well worth the admission charge. More

We really enjoyed our day in this outdoor museum where you can see different historic house styles and learn about art and craft in South Sweden over the centuries. There is a very pleasant cafe in one of the houses and an excellent shop. The highlight for us was the wonderful collection of local textiles but we also liked the... More

Kulturen was an excellent place if you are interested in Swedish culture and way of life. It is an outdoor museum that has houses from different eras during Swedish history. The houses also come from the different classes of people to show how nobles, farmers, and merchants lived. Currently they have a great exhibition on Swedish folk art. It is... More

I've visited this museum 4 times over a period of 21 years. I love the outside part with the re-constructed houses and church, but it's a shame that the chicken don't live there anymore. The indoor exhibits are well represented and the temporary exhibitions are always interesting. The shop has a good range of high quality merchandise and is a... More

There is a lovely mixture of old and new. There is an area with around 20 old buildings of various sizes and types that you can go in. Plus a regular historical type museum and when I was last there a special exhibit on puppets of Asia. I have heard concerts there as well. If you are in Lund it... More
