The park is a popular venue for concerts in Stockholm, with Bob Marley having performed here thrice between 1977 and 1980. The actual rides in the park are those which can be seen in mostly all amusement parks. This is mainly owing to the small size of the theme park in general, because of it's location in the centre, limiting further expansion. Read More

This museum was founded in 1873 by Artur Hazelius. Inside you'll find an exhibition of a wide variety of relevant artefacts, from textiles to simple furniture and jewellery. The building we see today actually was never completed, since it was initially planned to be much larger in size. Hazelius was still working on the Skansen and the Nordic when he dies in 1901, and Isak Gustaf Clason in 1907. The collection of the museum contains simple, every day objects, which reflect on how the rural culture developed over centuries.
