Skånska gruvan

Skånska gruvan, Industrial exhibition building in Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden

Skånska gruvan is a brick exhibition pavilion at Rosendalsvägen 14 on Djurgården, designed by Gustaf Wickman for the 1897 Stockholm Exhibition. After a 1977 fire only the brick walls remained, and a facade with blind windows was rebuilt as a temporary measure. Since 2001 the building has housed Skansen's building conservation information centre.

Gustaf Wickman designed Skånska gruvan for the 1897 Stockholm Exhibition, where it served as a joint pavilion for Scanian brick, sugar, lime, cement and coal industries. After the exhibition it was donated to Skansen, which used it for exhibitions until 1924, then as a museum store. A 1977 fire left only the brick walls; renovation began in 1999.

The building is blue-marked by the Stockholm City Museum, denoting exceptionally high cultural-historical value. Its name comes from the artificial mine that was its main attraction, and since autumn 2001 it has served as Skansen's public information centre for building conservation.

Skånska gruvan stands at Rosendalsvägen 14 on Djurgården, near the Rosendal and Skansen area of the island. Since autumn 2001 the building has served as a public information room for Skansens Byggnadsvård, the museum's building-conservation unit, so it is visited as part of a Skansen visit rather than as a separate attraction.

The artificial mine that gave the building its name was dismantled in stages during the 20th century, and nothing of it remains today. The 1897 exhibition pavilion was later given to Skansen, which used it for exhibitions until 1924, then as a store for museum collections.
