Explore the Christmas Trail in Our Open Air Museum, and see how Christmas was celebrated in the south of Sweden in the past. See the decorations and traditions as they would have been in, for example, a professor’s house from the middle of the 19th century, in an impoverished cottage in 1904 and in a working-class family in the 1930s.

You can pick up a map in the room directly after the entrance. It will help you find the houses that are a part of the Christmas Trail. Then read the short text on the red signs outside the houses.
