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.

Autumn holiday

During the autumn 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.

Ghost crafts in the family workshop

We are crafting ghosts out of paper pulp, which can be hung in a window or used for puppet theater. The activity is suitable for ages 6 and up.

Free for adults and children! Drop-in on a first-come, first served basis. Please go to the museum entrance to get tickets and then come to workshop.

No knowledge of Swedish required.

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.

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.
