Skansen, the first open-air museum in the world, was founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius, who wanted to capture Sweden's history in the broadest possible way, showing traditionally dressed people in authentic houses, among historical objects, in a landscape of meadows, fields and forest. The installations are representative of their area and time and include storehouses, churches, farms, summerhouses and gardens. A walk through Skansen offers visitors the chance to see exteriors and interiors, showing what has been characteristic and typical in Swedish art and architecture. With 150 color photographs and a fascinating text, this book portrays in wonderful detail the unique style of Sweden's cultural history.
