The world's first open-air museum was founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius to let visitors see how Swedes lived in previous times. Today, around 150 traditional houses and other exhibits from all over Sweden occupy this attractive hilltop in Djurgarden. It's a spectacular 'Sweden in miniature', and you could spend all day here, wandering between the zoo, the handicraft precinct, and the open-air museum of the daily activities that take place on Skansen's stages, including folk-dancing in summer. The Town Quarters buildings, inhabited by staff in period costumes, include farmhouses, windmills, barns, bank, pharmacy, a working glassblower's hut, and churches, brought from all parts of the country. In addition, the park has carnival area, theater, cafes and aquarium, en route to the fish (including piranhas) you'll walk among the Skansen zoo’ lemurs and see pygmy marmosets, the smallest monkeys in the world. www.skansen.se.
