For children and family

Kulturen is a perfect place for children and adults to discover together, and it is easy to combine play and learning!

Make the visit a whole day

  • Start the day in our play exhibition about Madicken. Here you can play a large-format board game, play in environments from Madicken, dress up, and much more.

  • Then visit our historical environments. In six of our historical houses, you can experience how people lived in southern Sweden in different times and social settings. Get the trail in the Garden Room, right after the museum shop.

  • Many of our exhibitions are fun to discover together! Maybe especially "Full house – Peasant Life in Skåne 200 Years Ago". There we get closer to the past, when a large dollop of butter in the porridge was festive food and a dung pile worked just as well as a toilet.

  • Then take a well-deserved coffee break in our cozy café and end the day playing at the playground.

We always have free entry for visitors aged 0–18!

Our children's trails make the museum visit an exciting family adventure!

Add an extra touch to your discovery journey through the museum by picking up one of our popular children's trails right at the entrance. Together you solve puzzles and discover the museum in a whole new and playful way!

  • Pee and poop (From 3 years): A guaranteed giggly and fun trail for the youngest explorers.

  • Play and discover (From 5 years): Perfect for curious kids who want to explore, search for clues, and learn with their whole body.

  • Mystery and darkness (From 10 years): A slightly spookier and more exciting mission for the older and braver children.

Travel back in time!

Step over the threshold into six of our unique cultural-historical houses and experience what life really looked like in old Sweden. Here, you wander between different eras and feel the wings of history in everything from simple cottages to grand homes.

Make the visit an exciting adventure – pick up the track "How did people live in the past?" in the Garden Room, right after the museum shop!

Keep in mind that the houses and their unique objects are sensitive time capsules. Help us preserve history by looking but not touching. Please remind the children of this before you enter!

Step right into Madicken's wonderful world!

"Madicken – a play exhibition" is created for children aged 3–9, and filled with interactive elements. Here you can play a large-format board game, play in environments from Madicken, dress up, and much more. Here awaits a magical playground where stories become reality. The children can visit Madicken and Lisabet's own room, bake fragrant pretzels in Abbe's house, and challenge their courage with an exciting ghost story in the mysterious Brygghuset. Don't forget to check in with Doctor Berglund and whiz down the fun slide in the garden!

Feel free to read Astrid Lindgren's beloved books about Madicken together before you come here – then the visit will be an even greater adventure for the little ones!

Eat packed food

In nice weather, you can have a picnic in our park. There are also seating areas and tables by the playground.

In bad weather, you can also eat your packed food in the Architects' house, which is located by the playground. The small house is used as a dining room for school classes and other visitors during bad weather. Book in advance if you want to be sure to get a spot.

There is also a packed lunch room in the Allmoge Hall, next to the play exhibition. These places cannot be booked.
