The best specialized museums Norrland

The F15 Flight Museum is an aviation museum located in Söderhamn. It is housed in a former Swedish Air Force base, known as F15, which was active during the Cold War. The museum houses a collection of historic aircraft, some of which were used by the Swedish Air Force. The museum also organizes temporary exhibitions and activities for visitors, such as guided tours and flight simulators.

Opened in 2014, Guitars - The Museum is located on the top floor of the old school on Vasagatan Street in central Umeå. Featured are hundreds of guitars from the 1950s and 1960s, including some very rare models that belonged to music stars, brought together here by two passionate brothers. If you like rock'n'roll or blues, or if you are a passionate musician, we recommend that you take a look at this museum like no other! The whole history of an era and a culture that deserves to be preserved!

In the ^18th and ^19th centuries, the prisoners in Gävle prison had a painful experience of isolation. At that time, the inmates were confined to their cells 24 hours a day, with only twenty minutes of escape time in the open air gaols. Since 2004, a museum has been bringing prison life to life. The museum's exhibition leads into the cells where mannequins, objects found on inmates over the years and interactivity bring these places back to life.

The museum exhibits one of the finest collections of locomotives and wagons illustrating the entire history of the Swedish railroads. The collection includes more than 300 vehicles from the early ^19th century, including the famous Prince Augustus locomotive, which is still the oldest locomotive in service. But what will delight the children (and no doubt some others) is the possibility to climb into the driver's cab of a steam locomotive!
