Tales and Legends at Christmas

In the past, people would gather on long, dark winter evenings to share stories passed down from generation to generation. What mysteries lurked in the winter darkness? Christmas was believed to be a time when the boundary between the natural and supernatural worlds was particularly thin, giving people plenty of stories to tell – and things to beware of.

At Skansen, this storytelling tradition lives on. Step inside, escape the cold and settle in for a moment of storytelling.
