The entire museum is open until 20 pm on Thursdays!
Open air museum, park and exhibitions
The open-air museum at Kulturen in Lund is filled with culturally historic houses and outdoor environments that you can visit. Here you can get an idea of how people have lived in southern Sweden during different times and in different social environments, both in the countryside and in cities. Some of the buildings are in their original location, while others have been moved here since the museum opened in 1892. Of course, all our exhibitions are also open in the evenings!
Historical environments – how did people live in the past?
Look inside six of our culturally historic houses and see how people have lived in southern Sweden during different times and in different social environments. Get the trail How did people live in the past? in the garden room, just after the museum shop. The trail begins in the Västra Vrams rectory in the mid-1700th century and ends in the Workers' Housing in 1930. Scan the QR codes in the trail folder to bring up a text that leads you on a journey of discovery in the house – there is a QR code for each house.
Picnic, Kulturens café and play in the park
The museum park has space for resting, picnicking and playing. There are benches here and there where you can sit down, weather permitting. Our cozy cafe in the open-air museum is open from 11:00 to 15:30 until the end of April, then until 16:30 during the summer. Children can play in our playground, which consists of a city area with a town hall, church, shop, smithy, stables and square, and a rural area with a watermill with treadle wheels and animals sculpted in wood.
