Stockholm -- Skansen

The second awesome we visited on Djurgarden was Skansen, an open air museum depicting Swedish life in the country. The museum founder, Artur Hazelius, actually bought old buildings and had them transported to his museum.
It was awesome to see how Swedish people used to live, and to see the different architectural styles.
A large portion of the park was dedicated to a Nordic animals exhibit.
They had bears, moose, lynx, wolves, seals, and owls. I thought the owls were so cool. Andrew would have been terrified :)

The park was huge, but it the sun was shining and we had a great last couple of hours in Stockholm wandering through the different exhibits.

This was Artur's house. He actually lived in it, and even died in it.
We stopped at a cute cafe in the park and had some yummy pastries and chocolate.
Since the whole museum was up on large hill, the view of the city was beautiful.

Stockholm was amazing, and I can't wait to go back!
