Kulturen is an open-air cultural history museum in the middle of Lund, made up of dozens of historic buildings — houses, workshops, a church — relocated from across Skåne and arranged into a small village-like complex, alongside indoor galleries covering everything from furniture to toys. It's one of Sweden's oldest open-air museums, predating the more famous Skansen in Stockholm by a few years.

Because it sits right in the city center rather than on the outskirts, it's an easy add-on to a walk around Lund's old town.
