Review:
The Skansen Foundation is the oldest open-air museum in the world. At this 75-acre interactive exhibit, guests can experience a taste of how people lived in Sweden centuries ago through a series of immersive activities. Skansen contains a full replica of a 19th-century village, complete with craftsmen like shoemakers, blacksmiths, and glass blowers. In the Hornborga cottage, visitors can take in the low ceilings, the roof of turf and straw, and the primitive stove as they learn about the families who used to live in the small space, and what their lives may have been like. At the Skansen Aquarium and Zoo, guests can see and learn about animals native to Scandinavia like bears, reindeer, wolverines, and bison.
