The Biological Museum was built in 1893 to a design by architect Agi Lindegren who was inspired by the medieval Norwegian stave churches. Gustaf Kolthoff the founder of the museum, was a taxidermist, an amateur zoologist and an author.

The museum is a collection of Scandinavian mammals and birds in their natural, ecological habitat. The vast diorama, which can be viewed from two levels, presents the different types of landscape from inland Sweden as well as from the coast. On the ground floor there are two smaller dioramas showing Spetsbergen (a cave from the Arctic Ocean) and a valley on eastern Greenland.

A great place to visit with friends and family.
