The final set of pictures is from Skansen, an open air museum on the island of Djurgården dedicated to traditional pre-industrial life in Sweden. Like the local Beamish museum, it features reconstructed buildings and period-dressed “interpreters”.

Windmills.
The Hornborga cottage is the farmstead of a relatively poor family.

The Seglora Church is apparently a popular choice for weddings.
Chapel for a Protestant church independent of the official Swedish Lutheran church.

A small zoo section houses animals native to Sweden, such as reindeer.
Camp of the Sami people, for whom reindeer were a vital resource.
The ironmongers.
The engineering works.
The furniture factory. The wheel looks at first sight like some torture instrument, but is presumably a compact way to hold different pieces of work being clamped while joins set.
