Jamtli Open-Air Museum
Jamtli
One of Sweden's largest regional museums. The open-air area recreates a century-old Jämtland farm, and the indoor galleries hold the Viking-age Överhogdal tapestries.
Jamtli lies about a 15-minute walk north of the city centre and consists of an indoor museum and an open-air museum. The open-air area has relocated 18th- to 20th-century farmhouses, pasture cabins and a wooden church. In summer, staff dressed as farmers of the time bake bread and tend livestock, and visitors can join in, making it great for families. The indoor museum's centrepiece is the Överhogdal tapestry from around AD 1000, and it also has displays on regional folklore, such as the Storsjö monster. Summer tickets are more expensive but offer the most content. In other seasons, only some areas are open.
Opening hours
Daily about 11:00–17:00 in summer; closed Mondays in other seasons (check official website)
