About
Skansen, Stockholm's open-air museum, marks Easter the way Swedes did in the past. Its historic houses and farmsteads show how homes were decorated and festive meals prepared for the holiday. It suits kids who like stories and old things, and the folklore is good to share: Maundy Thursday was witches' night, and on Easter Eve people gathered around the fire to scare the Easter witches away.
