Skansen is the first open air museum and zoo in Sweden and is located on the island Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius (1833-1901) to show the way of life in the different parts of Sweden throughout history.

The 19th century was a period of great change throughout Europe and Sweden was no exception. Its rural way of life was rapidly giving way to an industrialized society and many feared that the country's many traditional customs and occupations may be lost to history. Artur Hazelius, who had previously founded the Nordic Museum on the island of Djurgården near the centre of Stockholm, was inspired by the open-air museum founded by King Oscar II in Kristiania in 1881 when he created his open-air museum on the hill that dominates the island. Skansen became the model for other early open-air museums in Scandinavia and later ones elsewhere.
Skansen was originally a part of the Nordic Museum, but became an independent organization in 1963. The objects in the Skansen buildings are still the property of the Nordic Museum.
Main bulding of the Nordic Museum is visible on the left side of my picture in the background.

Hi Andrzej.
I like the composition and contrast in your image - great texture and tone. But I think you could have cropped out more of the sky becasue of the weather conditions, it's rather redundant.

Fajne zdjęcie z klimatem, kojarzy mi się z historiami o babie jadze i domku na kurzej nóżce:)
