School Holidays

We have activities for children accompanied by adults during each school holiday (school break). Information on what is happening at the museum will be made available a few weeks before each holiday.

Christmas holiday

During the Christmas break, the museum's exhibitions are open all day from Thursday to Sunday for those who want to explore the history of the museum on their own. The museum's restaurant is also open for lunch and coffee. See our child-friendly exhibitions, or have coffee and lunch in our restaurant.

Climb aboard the fire engine

A popular family activity is to climb aboard the fire engine in the Spruthuset firehouse. Spruthuset was built in 1926 to serve as the mill's fire station. It houses fire engines, helmets and other equipment.

Restaurant and café

We are open for lunch, coffee and light refreshments. We offer child-friendly options on our menu. For little ones, we offer EKO squeeze bags, and can heat up baby food that you bring along. The café also has bibs and highchairs available to borrow.

Discover the exhibitions

The museum has lots of exciting things for children and families to discover, both indoors and outdoors. Our exhibitions are easy to visit with children – there's plenty to see at just the right height for them. Visit the old school room or peek inside the old fire station.
