Skottvångs gruva, Working life museum and iron mine in Laxne, Sweden
The iron mine complex features 19 historical buildings, exhibitions about mining operations, and a museum displaying industrial equipment from different periods.
The mining operations at Skottvångs gruva started in the 1500s as part of the Åkers Bergslag district, contributing to Sweden's iron production for centuries.
The site maintains a music and theater stage in the former machine room, which has become a notable venue for summer entertainment in Sweden.
The museum offers guided tours, educational programs for schools, and requires advance bookings of six weeks for group visits at 750-1500 kronor.
During Kolarveckan in July, the site demonstrates traditional charcoal production methods using techniques unchanged for 400 years.
