Handens museum och smedja

The museum complex includes a smithy, craft shop, and animal husbandry facilities where goats and chickens are kept at Getporsvägen 8.

The museum opened in December 2008, originating from a collaboration between blacksmith Martin Ahlsén and historian Olle Flodby who gathered local materials.

School classes participate in educational programs about local history and receive hands-on experience with traditional blacksmithing techniques and craft making.

The museum shop sells handcrafted items including jewelry, decorative pieces, door fittings, wrought nails, and Viking weapon replicas made in the smithy.

The main building, a former worker's cottage called Svensro, was saved from demolition in 2001 and relocated with a traditional turf-covered roof.
