At the Historical Museum, you can experience horrors throughout the autumn holiday week and learn more about, among other things, death, the plague, graves and whether you can eat mummies!
Every day at 12.15 you can join us on shows that are suitable for children and that deal with different things. After the screening, we go down to the museum's historic workshop and there you can tinker and continue learning more.
If you don't want to go along to a screening, you can go on a quiz about skeletons and graves, or come to our workshop for drop-in crafts from 13.30pm.
1 November at 12.15 Mummies
The museum has an Egyptian mummy in its collections and it has traveled a long way to end up in Lund. But how did it actually end up here? How to mummify and eat mummy?! Has it really been done?
2 November at 12.15 Terrible story time
Hear chilling tales of beings throughout history. Can you learn something from the stories and are they really as terrifying as you think?
3 November at 12.15 Grave gifts
Throughout time, humans (and Neanderthals) have placed objects in graves. The first emperor of China brought with him an army of 8000 terracotta soldiers and here in the Nordics the stone age tombs were often used again and again. Learn more about how people were buried in the past and what objects you may have taken with you in your grave in ancient times.
4 November at 12.15 Valhalla or Hell?
The stories about what happens after death are many and change between different times. Learn more about how people may have viewed death in the Iron Age. Did everyone end up in Valhalla? And how many times can you eat the same pig over and over again?
5 November at 12.15 Plague or cholera?
In the Middle Ages, the Black Death swept across Europe and killed many people. The traces can be seen in the art and in stories from that time. Just like then, we are currently stay in a time right after a major pandemic. We talk about diseases, bacteria and viruses and take a closer look at the victims of the plague.
