Autumn Break: Become a Treasure Hunter

Do you dream of finding a treasure? During the autumn break, we will tell you about exciting treasures that have been found on a gravel road, in an old house, and at the bottom of the sea. You can also make your own treasure chest in the workshop. Free for children. Adults pay an admission fee to the museum. The activities are conducted in Swedish.

Monday 28 october - Sunday 3 november

Make Your Own Treasure Chest

Time: 12.30 – 13.15

In the workshop, you can let your imagination flow and make your own treasure chest to take home. It can be the perfect place to store treasures you find or maybe even your allowance? We will make the treasure chests out of cardboard and then decorate them with paper, pens, and other craft materials.
