The best museums Karlstad

This large area is a 25-minute walk from the centre (or by bus 5 from Stortorget) and is at the same time an open-air museum, a nature reserve and a farm. At the beginning of the century, the owner of the forest bequeathed his land to the city with the demand that it be preserved. The result is brilliant: just a stone's throw from the city is a centuries-old coniferous forest and a vast wetland where thousands of birds gather.

Voted best museum in Sweden in 2006 and not by chance! This museum is a small marvel of scenography, presenting through the ages the culture and the heritage of the region. The historical objects are highlighted as rarely in a museum. We go from the Middle Ages to the mass emigration to the United States, then to the ^20th century and its inventions in a whirlwind of objects, films and delightfully realistic settings. The new feature is the science and technology discovery room, where you can learn a lot about movement, light, materials... You can do your own experiments, go through a heat detector, and even create your own paper! Museum of Modern Art in the second building with some good, and some not so good. There are works by artists such as Uno Troili and Gunvor Nelson, as well as information on how the works were made and the context of their creation. There are also temporary exhibitions featuring local and national artists, some of them very contemporary! Moreover, children are not left out since special exhibitions are dedicated to them, both interactive and original, and always colorful! In short, it is without doubt a place not to be missed if you stop in the city, and you will not be disappointed to have passed there. If you are hungry, there is also a restaurant and a café in the museum.
