Ifo Center is a culture project initiated by artists in one of Sweden's oldest ceramic factory areas. The factory area has been totally closed to outsiders for decades, but select parts can now be visited through Ifo Center's guided tours. Please note that to get inside the still active factory area, visit the artist studios and various on-going projects of the collective you will need to book a tour in advance. In the tour you get to go behind the fence and barbed wire. Your guide will share the story of Ifo Center and the Outdoor Gallery, with amazing artwork by international street artists, tell you all about how it all started, and give you the scoop on Europe´s largest stoneware fountain "Scanisaurus" - depicting two live sized ceramic dinosaurs. For the finish you will be served Swedish "fika" and the local speciality "Bromollagomma", pimped out with fresh forrest berries. If you cant attend a guided tour, Ifo Center Art Hall can still be visited (free) & some art seen outside.

Disgusting Food Museum invites visitors to explore the world of food and challenge their notions of what is and what isn’t edible. Could changing our ideas of disgust help us embrace the environmentally sustainable foods of the future? The exhibit has 80 of the world’s most disgusting foods. Adventurous visitors will appreciate the opportunity to smell and taste some of these notorious foods.
Phenomenal experience. Highly educational in learning about the various cultures, along with learning about the psychological aspects of what we deem disgusting. The owner/founder of this museum gave us a personal experience and allowed us to taste various things. Highly recommend this to everyone, by far one of the most unique experiences I've ever had in a museum. Worth it!

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. Our members also have free admission to Kulturen in Lund and nine other open-air museums in the Nordic region, including Skansen in Stockholm and Den gamle by in Aarhus (Denmark). Kulturen recieves operating grants from Region Skåne, Lund Municipality, and Sjöbo Municipality.
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.

Every year more than 700,000 people visit Lund Cathedral, Swedens most visited Church. People of all ages and types are attracted here for a variety of reasons. Besides those who attend services or seek spiritual renewal, there are many tourists groups from different countries, school classes as well as visiting parties from other churches and congregations. Lund Cathedral was consecrated in 1145, and contains many well-known artifacts and features of considerable historical interest. Please don´t miss to visit the Cathedral Forum, Domkyrkoforum, a brand new modern building just south of the Cathedral. Here you can see two films about the Cathedral, drink coffee/tea, and get information.
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 Church looks very nice from the outside. Inside, it is quite plain, despite its 700 year history, although the side altar at the back has some faded murals, which are more often seen in Italian churches. The main altar is very dramatic and it is possible to walk all the way behind it. Around the church in various paces is plenty of evidence of regular worship and an active role in its local and wider community.

The museum reopens for visitors 9/4 2021. Welcome to the Railway Museum in Angelholm! Come and see the developement of railways on our large model railway with a slide show, covering their history from horse-drawn freight wagons to today´s high speed trains. Or take a ride in the locomotive simulator, Locomotion. Everyone, from children till advanced technicians, will find something interesting at the museum. If you come in summertime, don´t miss the miniature railway in the park behind the museumI In our shop we sell souvenirs, books, films, toys and much more. We also offer coffee, soft drinks, ice Cream, sweets and simple meals. Every year we organize a number of large events with steam trains and other attractions. We also arrange temporary exhibitions.
I reviewed this attraction last year after discovering it, and said it was absolutely perfect for a rainy day. This is still the case, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. But there seemed to be one update from 2016 to 2017. There was now a fully translated English booklet they can give out to the English speakers who aren't sure of the many display signs and do genuinely want to learn more about the railway. It meant that my wife could now also follow along on the stories, a few of which are really quite interesting and adorable. There's one about a heart-broken 22-year-old which is genuinely quite moving. You'll know it when you see it/read it. As for the entertainment, there are a few absolute highlights. The kids were massive fans of the very large miniature railroad which plays a little film about the development of trains, with each type of train (and a very funky horse and cart) moving when the story moves to their part. Then at the end they all go racing around. Very funky. The kids also loved the kids play area right near the cafe/shop on the right. Lots of toys and lego/duplo type stuff to play with, lots of model railways, and a small pretend train. My kids (6 and 2) spent about an hour just in there, while I sat on the side taking it easy, and my wife went around actually learning about railways and trains. And the occasional panel about bears. I didn't fully grasp what my wife was talking about, but that's likely a marriage problem rather than a railway museum problem. We also really enjoyed the miniature railway museum on the outside of the museum itself, which for 10kr per person you can ride around twice. Perfect for small kids. Overall, I still contend this is a fantastic way to spend a day/afternoon when visiting Skåne, and would heartily recommend to anyone with kids or an interest in trains. Even the casual railway enthusiast should come out of there more well-versed in trains.
