Malmo Museer
Various museums in and around Malmohus slott make up the Malmo Museer. There are cafe-restaurants inside all the museums. The interesting aquarium has a nocturnal hall, as well as coral reefs, brightly coloured tropical fish and representatives of local species such as cod and pike. It was being revamped at the time of writing, so should be even better when you visit! The aquarium is associated with the Naturmuseum, which has typical collections of rocks, stuffed animals and birds. The galleries of Malmo Konstmuseum contain the largest Swedish collection of 20th century Nordic art, and the Stadsmuseum dealsith w the cultural history of Malmo and Skane. The Knight’s Hall has various late-medieval and Renaissance exhibits, such as the regalia of the order of St Knut. The northwest gun tower is intact and atmospheric, with cannons pointing in every direction. On Malmohusvagen, the excellent Teknikens och Sjofartens Hus is a short distance to the west. It’s a technology and maritime museum, with aircraft, vehicles, a horse-drawn tram, steam engines, and the amazing ‘U3’ walk-in submarine, just outside the main building. The submarine was launched in Karlskrona in 1943 and decommissioned in 1967. Upstairs is a superb hands-on experiment room for kids, which will keep them enthralled for ages.
