Folk Music with Skansen's Folk Musicians

Folk music has a long tradition at Skansen, dating back to the 1890s. Today, Skansen's folk musicians perform traditional Swedish tunes in some of our historic settings during major celebrations and on summer evenings. Come and enjoy the music as it brings a special atmosphere to the historic surroundings!

  • During Skansen’s early years, musical performances were often accompanied by folk dancing. At first, the music was performed by Skansen’s own staff. It was only later that Skansen’s folk music ensemble was formed, frequently welcoming guest musicians from different parts of Sweden.
