The museum itself is a gem but the modern art exhibited is just ridiculously uninteresting especially that of the artist in the basement. Interesting sculptures on the first floor.

It's this kind of place when you can feel, sense the prehistory, the shred of the mankind.
Difficult to find (no road-singes or guideposts), accessible by 'dirt road' only and last 300-400 meters by foot through the wetland forest. Isn't easy to find this place. But - worth to do it if You want to experience the fortified settlement of the shadows of humankind history.
Stony defensive wall with 9 gates surrounds stony village. Beautifully situated in a forested nature reserve with surrounding meadows. All built on the set of the circle. At present - Y can see stones piled up to a height of about one meter - but it still gives a big impression of builders from the past (constructed about 200 CE during the Migration Period!).
Proper place to sit-down and become lost in thought. To catch the mental contact with ancestors. For me - it's the most important attraction on Oland. If You can find it ...
No WC, no kiosk, no fast-food point, no cashier desk, no souvenir shop. Nothing is there from our present civilisation and it's wonderful :). Only You, stones and the Past.

Very nice 'open air' museum to show how Swedish people lived in the 19th century. You get a chance to enter old houses which are still furnitured, as if people still live there. Nice to walk around there and discover all the hidden corners of the place. The museum has a very nice café where you can sit outside or inside and enjoy the unique setting.

We visited the Gardens of this slott.
It belongs to the Sweden's Royal family.
It's a very nice mediterrian looking house with wonderfull Gardens
It was built as a summer-house by Queen Victoria, who had drawn her inspiration from the Swedish doctor Axel Munthe's Italian villa San Michele on Capri.
Victoria had bronchial problems and escaped to the milder climates of Oland.
"You can breathe here " was said.
The first foundation stone was laid in 1903.
It could be used in 1906.
It has some different styled Gardens, with also a tennis-court and a croquet lawn.
There is also a " Dutch rose garden ".
It was a present from the Dutch court to Queen Victoria on her 60th birthday in 1922, she died in 1930.
The plants, flowers, waterfall, the English and Italian parks are so wonderfull and in different times of the year the smell of the flowers is really breathtaking.
It's closed during the time the Royal family is here.
It's a great pleasure to visit it.

Mooi oud houten badhuis waar vroeger druk gebruik van werd gemaakt. Het badhuis ligt iets ten noorden van hotel Strand aan het einde van een eigen pier. Er zwommen slechts enkele mensen. In het (warme) Oostzee water, waan je je al snel terug in de 19e eeuw toen hier grote drukte heerste. Vandaag was ik hier alleen...

Cykla på Öland - ett måste! Vi hyrde en tandem och cyklade iväg norrut. Tyvärr hade vi lite tekniska problem med den hyrda cykeln, något som är svårt att åtgärda när man kommit några mil på sin resa. Detta drar ned betyget, och jag rekommenderar att noggrant kolla så cykeln vekar fungera bra innan uthyrning!!
