Easter celebration at Skansen
Skansen always hosts fantastic celebrations for all holidays and is perfect for those seeking a traditional, magical Easter. This year, Easter will be celebrated at Skansen between March 28th and April 7th and will be filled with lots of fun festivities. See and try Ukrainian egg painting (March 29-30), learn more about eggs at “Lill-Skansen”, listen to music and stories, paint yourself or someone else as an Easter witch, and do Easter crafts in Bragehallen. Go on a quiz walk and grill sausages at Bollnästorget! In Skansen’s cultural-historical environments, you’ll meet their educators and learn more about how Easter has been celebrated at different times. On Easter Eve (March 30th) and Easter Day (March 31st), there will be a spring concert with the folk music trio Kviga in Seglora and song-playing with Skansen’s musicians in Älvrosgården (also on Easter Monday, April 1st).
Can you solve the case of the egg thief at the Police Museum?
April 2 – April 7
The Police Museum’s valuable golden eggs have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Help the museum staff to find the thief! In the children’s tour “Talk about the Police,” you’ll see what police officers carry on their belts and learn how fast a police car can actually drive. Additionally, a crime has been committed at the Police Museum, and evidence is needed to solve the case. What clues can you find?
In the museum’s children’s exhibition ‘Police, Police…’, you can also dress up in a police uniform and try the police car. The Police Museum has something for children of all ages during the Easter break.
Easter Crafts and Egg Hunt at Thiel Gallery
Thiel Gallery welcomes you and the whole family to enjoy fun Easter crafts at their craft table and go on an exciting egg hunt in the art collection. The craft table is open between March 29th-31st. The egg hunt is available throughout the Easter break between March 29th and April 7th.
Admission to the museum is free for children, but a craft ticket costs 20 SEK, and adults pay the regular entrance fee.

Try the new activity “The Trade Journey” at The Viking Museum during the Easter holiday!
In spring, a lot was happening in the world of the Vikings! It was high time to think about this year’s harvest and plan for the summer’s trade journeys.
During the Easter break, you can visit The Viking Museum and try the museum’s new activity “The Trade Journey.” At the entrance desk, ask for materials for “The Trade Journey,” and then simply follow the instructions in the exhibition. If you are successful, you will return with lots of silver, and then there’s a chance to land on the museum’s high score stone!
Between 2 pm and 5 pm every day, there will be a Viking-era merchant to discuss trade with, as well as trade goods to take a closer look at.
On April 7th at 3.30 pm, a spring blot will be held at the museum to ask the gods for help with crops and future harvests. This begins with a thematic tour in the exhibition and ends with a Viking-era blot ceremony outside the museum. The blot is included in the admission ticket, and everyone is welcome to participate.
Additionally, there will be daily family tours in both Swedish and English throughout the Easter break, and of course, the museum’s adventure journey “Ragnfrid’s Saga” will continue as usual.
