It is an outdoor museums that showcases life in Sweden hundreds of years ago. They have a number of historical buildings, including one that is the oldest in the area. Each building is either furnished with period items or it is a museum with a theme such as printing presses. We enjoyed our short time here and would recommend this to others who like historical museums.

Maybe I missed something, but I don't believe I did. With that said, it's something to do in a town that has only so many things to do. I would just rank it very lowly among Lund's attractions; but if you have a lot of time in Lund, go for it.

The Malmo Konstall is one of the largest modern art exhibition spaces in Europe. I went as part of Malmo Nordic 2013 to see "24 Spaces - A Cacophony", which featured quite a few non-commercial artists. The exhibition itself was great, but I also really enjoyed the exhibition space spread out over one sprawling floor. Also notable: a totally respectable English book selection in the store and a charming lunch spot / outdoor cafe. The vibe is relaxed; you can take your time or whizz through things, both models without judgment. Just how I like to take in my dose of art. Yelp note: a lot of construction around the Konsthall currently (summer 2013) but be persistent! It's harder to see the signage, but worth the persistent effort.

Like everyone else, The Knotted Gun is a lot smaller than anticipated. In fact we walked right by…read moreit on the way from the Malmö Central Station to the Malmö Castle. On the way back I specifically looked for it and still took some time to find exactly where it was. It is fairly close to the train station. From the train station walking along Norra Vallgatan Street towards Slottsgatan look to your left while on the bridge. To your right across the street you will see a lighthouse in the back. The knotted barrel of the gun is pointing towards the direction of the lighthouse. The handle of the gun points towards the direction of Lilla Torg. The Knotted Gun, also known as Non-Violence, was created made by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd. It isn't your ordinary image of a gun, as the end of its barrel twists into a knot. On the other side of the road, you can see its companion, a large square sculpture with a hole in it. Reuterswärd was inspired to create this giant bronze depiction of a Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver after John Lennon was murdered. His artwork is both a symbol of and call for peace and non-violence. Now, the image is the symbol of the Non-Violence Project, which is a nonprofit that is dedicated to changing the world through peaceful means. There are various knotted guns scattered throughout the world. The most famous and most visited version stands outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

Trying to find this gun was kind of hard as the photos make it look like it's a huge statue. It's quite the opposite! It's quite small and on a large pedestal. But it is quite close to the train station just west of it, across the bridge. If you blink you may just miss it. We were lucky enough to use our resources and eventually found it. It is small but a powerful message. If not anything, it'll be a good activity to try to find it. I know it was quite an adventure for us.
