History enthusiasts can explore "Medeltida mode" (Medieval Fashion) at the Historiska museet. This exhibition, running throughout the summer, delves into the attire of people from 500 years ago. The museum has spent four years developing patterns, dyeing fabrics, and recreating women's costumes from the 12th to the early 16th centuries, showcasing both simple and elaborate designs.
Be there or wonder forever if you actually missed the best improv show of all time!
