Welcome to the turn of the 20th century. Meet the city’s inhabitants during a turbulent time when practically everything is fundamentally changing.

In the museum, you meet the people, events and places that together tell the story of the city’s development.

Welcome to book your own guided tour or city walk. Learn about the architecture, the people and historical events!

Follow the transformation from a small location in northern Europe to an urban, Scandinavian metropolis.
