Top 8 Things to do Good for Kids in Lund, Skane County

June 12, 2021 Layne Dawes

Among the oldest cities in Sweden, Lund was founded in the late 10th century. The stalwart Lund Cathedral is almost as old as the settlement itself; it was built in traditional Romanesque style and contains a beautiful astronomical clock, five organs and an ancient crypt. Explore charming Jakriborg, a modern residential area that emulates a medieval town, then head to the beautiful Botanical Gardens.

Kulturen in Lund - Museum of Cultural History and Open-Air Museum

Kulturen is a nonprofit organization managing a number of museums and open-air museums at several locations in Skane, the southernmost county of Sweden. The main part of the activities is conducted at Kulturen in Lund, which is two blocks in central Lund filled with historic buildings and beautiful gardens for you to visit. Step into our houses and experience life in the city and the countryside, from the Middle Ages to the 1930s. You can also choose from among twenty exhibitions - from folk art to modern design, from medieval history to the present day, from local culture to world culture. There is always hustle and bustle at Kulturen in Lund. Here we celebrate high festivals and our own traditions such as Children's Day and Ghost Night and we offer an extensive visitor's program for all ages. When you get hungry, you can eat at the restaurant or grab a snack at our cozy cafe. Our other visitor destinations are e.g. Kulturen's Östarp, where you can experience a farm environment from the 1800s, Hökeriet, which is the oldest grocery store in Lund, The Museum of Life (Livets museum), which is about the human body functions, and the Museum of Medical History in Helsingborg, about how the perception of health and illness has changed over time. Kulturen conducts educational and scientific activities throughout the entire field of cultural history. A major part of our work consists of storage provisioning, documentation, and collection care. We also carry out assignments within archaeology and building preservation. Kulturen was founded in 1882 and has more than 3.500 members. As a member you support our work and help us to safeguard our cultural heritage for future generations.

Honestly, I expected to be somewhat underwhelmed--not knowing much about Swedish culture or history, an "open-air museum" conjured up images of people in historical garb demonstrating weaving in front of shacks. What it really is is a trip to time and various regions of Sweden, with houses and even entire churches transported to the site, some two city blocks packed with buildings to explore self-guided. The architecture is very interesting and there are explanatory signs in Swedish and English. I went expecting to stay only an hour or so--I stayed an entire afternoon. Highly recommended.

This is a beautifully built cathedral. It is worth a visit with a day trip from Malmo. The interior of the cathedral is beautiful and you can visit the basement of the church as well. A must visit when in Lund.

The botanical garden in Lund is an oasis 5 minutes walk from downtown. Lots of trees, perennials and annuals. Beautiful outdoor cafe in the summer next to a pond with ducks. And, an ever growing series of greenhouses with tropical climate, perfect for cold or rainy days. A great place as well to take an elderly relative as well as children. Free entrance.
