Rainy Day in Skansen

This open-air museum, which visualises Swedish history through the ages, founded in 1891. It contains over 150 traditional buildings from around the country, dating from the 14th to the early 20th century – dismantled, transported and rebuilt on site. Nordic animals are kept in their natural habitats, surrounded by trees and plants from all over Sweden. 

It's a hike. We did close to our 10,000 steps by noon. Wouldn't have missed it, even with constant showers. 

Entering via escalator should give us a clue we were in for a hike.

and then there was the funicular. PB was thrilled.

I wasn't crazy about drudging to see caged Nordic animals. I was pleasantly surprised by the naturalist enclosures. We had to stand and hunt for many animals - woverine, artic fox, bison, lynx, wolf, brown bear, seal, otter.

The rest of the pics are in my Stockholm album.
