Description
Vallby Open Air Museum was founded in 1921 to present a picture of life in Västmanland county. Today, the museum features a number of exhibits that represent the county through time. Vallby Open Air Museum seeks to recreate and show environments that people once lived and worked in. As a visitor, you can experience how people lived and worked, see animals they kept and plants and crops they cultivated in gardens and fields.
Vallby Museum’s farmstead consists of 14 buildings, a kitchen garden, a hop-garden, cropland, pastureland, meadows and forest. Vallby Museum´s animals are a part of the museum´s effort to preserve Sweden´s biological heritage - a kind of live exhibit that includes rural animal breeds.
