Guided Christmas tour

How was Christmas celebrated in the past? What was a Christmas present and how did our Swedish Santa Claus come about? You'll find out during this atmospheric Christmas tour, in the light of lanterns.

During the Christmas tour you will learn more about our old Swedish Christmas traditions and how the celebrations looked like here in the north. You will learn why it was important to have Christmas crosses in the windows, why important Christmas preparations were carried out in the barn and what a Christmas present really was. In addition, we will also talk about how our modern Santa Claus is connected to the Christmas goat, the grumpy yard elf and the generous Bishop Nicholas.

Feel the Christmas spirit when we visit the museum's courtyards and outbuildings. We talk about how Christmas was celebrated by a rich farmer in the late 1800s and how the same holiday was celebrated in the 1920s.

Please note that Santa Claus is busy during this time of year, so you will not meet him during the tour.
