Döderhultarn Museum, Artist museum in Oskarshamn, Sweden

The Döderhultarn Museum contains over 200 wooden sculptures depicting daily life scenes, social situations, and characters from early 20th century Swedish society.

Founded in 1911, the museum preserves the legacy of Axel Petersson Döderhultarn, who created wooden carvings from 1868 to 1925 in the Småland region.

The collection features detailed wood carvings representing Swedish rural life, including farmers, military recruits, court proceedings, and domestic scenes.

Located in Kulturhuset at Hantverksgatan 18-20, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 12:00 to 16:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00.

The museum displays the original studio where Döderhultarn crafted his figures, maintaining the tools and workspace environment from the early 1900s.
