Things to see and do Mora

Anders Zorn (1860-1920) is one of the most famous Swedish painters, and was certainly also the richest during his lifetime. This museum, which exhibits many of his works, is a feast for the eyes. The originality of this artist is to have approached various techniques with an equal talent in each. Pencil drawings, sculptures on bronze or wood, nude paintings, watercolors... This native of the city was undoubtedly one of the most gifted painters to highlight the characters of his paintings, and to reproduce the movements of the water. Simply magnificent!

The Vasaloppet race, launched in 1922, follows the route taken in 1521 by Gustav Eriksson, the future Gustav Vasa and first king of Sweden. On the run from the Danish king, he stopped in Sälen before returning to Mora to lead the uprising against the occupying forces. Since its inception, more than 1.7 million people have taken part in the race. The museum is located in front of the Vasaloppets Hus and tells the story of the famous ski race as well as the history of the country.
