Photographer: Chris Maluszynski

This modern and exciting museum has been located in House of Folkungar's (House of Bjelbo's) Palace since 2003, located next to the Monastery (Kloster) Church. The palace was built in 1260 and later became a nunnery. The museum tells the story of life in the palace, monastery and monasticism during the medieval times, as well as Saint Birgitta’s life and work.
