Skansen in Stockholm, Sweden, is the world's oldest open-air museum, founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius. It offers a unique glimpse into the history and culture of Sweden, showcasing traditional Swedish lifestyles, crafts, and architecture. The museum features over 150 historical buildings relocated from various parts of Sweden, including farmsteads, a church, a manor house, and a Sami camp. Visitors can explore these structures, interact with costumed interpreters, and enjoy animal exhibits that include native Scandinavian species like bears, moose, and lynx.
