Skellefteå museum — Attraction in Skellefteå kommun

There are two floors to visit. First floor was dedicated to a clothing exhibition at the time I visited the museum. And there was a small room with Christmas decorations that you can also see in the pictures. It was really cosy and lovely. The second floor is dedicated to Skellefteå culture and history and became my favourite part during my visit. I spent most of my time in this section.

Each room is setup accordingly and filled with relevant sounds or music which really creates a good harmonic experience and good ambience in my humble opinion.

Definitely recommended when you are in Skellefteå. It won’t take your much of...

I've visited museums around the world and can tell you this is top class. Everything is also in English and Swedish....

Hur skulle Skellefteå sett ut utan den dimensionen. Sammantaget är upplevelsen god och utställningarna bidrar till en nyfikenhet...
