Kulturen, History museum in Lund, Sweden.
Kulturen spans two blocks in the city center and combines indoor collections with an open-air section. The site displays historical buildings from different decades, showing how homes and public spaces evolved over time.
The collection was founded in the 1800s and opened to the public in 1892 near the cathedral. The museum was among the first places to show history through preserved buildings rather than objects alone.
The museum shows how people in southern Sweden lived in different times through preserved houses and everyday objects. Visitors can step inside the rooms and see how daily life changed across generations.
The site is open year-round, though visiting hours are shorter during colder months. Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking around, especially in the outdoor areas.
While building the sewer system in the 1890s, workers found many medieval objects that expanded the museum collections. This accidental discovery shaped understanding of early city history.
