Skansen opened in October, 1891 with a single building, the Mora Cottage. Over the decades, the open-air museum has grown into a collection of more than 150 buildings from five centuries of Swedish history, organized by region and displayed in authentic settings. Costumed guides, artisans, and performers help to bring Sweden's rural heritage to life. Next page: What to see
