Introduction

Kulturen is an open-air cultural museum in Lund, founded in 1892 by Georg Karlin and among the world's oldest open-air museums. Dozens of relocated historic buildings line its lanes — from medieval to early-20th-century homes, workshops and schoolrooms you can step inside — a living classroom for Sweden's everyday history.
