The Many Faces of Skansen Museum from Stockholm



We simply love it when visiting a history museum the staff is dressed in traditional costumes, blending perfectly with the exhibition. But we haven't visited any other museum yet that features so much diversity both in term of social class and time period like Skansen Open Air Museum from Stockholm. The visitors can enter many of the houses and more often than not we met beautiful people dressed accordingly, going for the daily chores. They would gladly answer any question related to the house they were inhabiting and their presence only enhanced the charm of the museum, making it a living and breathing one. We loved it and happily wandered Skansen's alleys for hours on end.
