Skansen, Stockholm's open-air museum, to close temporarily due to pandemic

Skansen closes its entrances for the first time in 129 years. We have decided to close the entrances next Friday, November 27th. This means that Christmas at Skansen is also canceled.

Skansen is sorry that we have had to make the decision to close. It has been a difficult decision, but based on the current guidelines at the same time a necessary one.

Due to Prime Minister Stefan Löfven's press conference and clear message earlier this week, Skansen believes that we have no other option but to close. This is to take responsibility in accordance with the new guidelines where all persons are encouraged to take responsibility and not meet more than eight people, within the family.
