Wadköping, Open-air museum in Örebro, Sweden.
Wadköping is an open-air museum in Örebro that displays buildings from different periods of Swedish history. The structures are arranged along a central street and were originally relocated from various parts of the city.
The museum was founded in 1965 to preserve buildings that would otherwise have been lost. A major fire in 1854 destroyed the city center, and some of the structures displayed here survived that disaster.
Craft workshops and demonstrations throughout the site show how people worked with their hands in earlier times. You can watch traditional skills being practiced in the buildings themselves.
The site is easy to explore on foot and the buildings are accessible both inside and out. You can wander at your own pace and visit the various rooms and workshops.
A mobile application guides you through the site with stories about people who lived here long ago. These personal accounts bring the buildings to life and connect you with their former residents.
