Wonderful museum! The day we went it was very quiet, and was an informative and relaxing…read moreexperience. We got a coffee and wandered in and out of the various buildings, imagining how people lived in each one. Also loved the knitting exhibit--photo attached.

This was our first trip to Sweden and we chose Lund for our destination. We picked this museum from…read morethe web because it looked interesting. 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.

I wish I had been more impressed with the Historiska Museet, but I just wasn't. The whole place…read morewas a little dark, the displayed slanted a bit religious for my taste, and the price was steep for non-students (given the size and scope of the museum). 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.

This place was eerie. How else do you describe underground church ruins, cold, dimly-lit, ghostly…read morequiet, finding yourself utterly alone after climbing down a spiral stone staircase? This reminded me of the type of place immortals would meet in the Highlander universe, you know, on holy ground in order to dispel any conflict. Not to nerd it up unnecessarily in here, but that just happened. I stayed in Lund for a couple weeks and went on a walking tour where I tried to hit a handful of places on the map I found at the Cathedral Information Center. The signage from the streets that led lil ol tourist me to get down here into a basement to view the ruins couldn't have been more clear. My Swedish is terrible so I relied on Google Translate to help me read the different displays and plaques. I did appreciate that the videos had an English option. They have a nicely organised timeline of Swedish history over the past thousand years down here as well as preserved items from the ruins. The only soul with a beating heart down here at the time was me, which made for a truly unique and interesting experience. Unsettling in the best way. Lund is an amazing city with much more to see than I could in the few days I gave myself to explore it. It is also a hub of archaeological study, my hostess and friend having earned her degrees at Lund University. This is so evident that I literally walked right by a busy dig site smack in the middle of the city during my wanderings. As I will repeat a million times as I work through my reviews from my Scandinavian travels: VISIT LUND!

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.
