JUNIBACKEN
JUNIBACKEN -
The living fairy tales house!
Junibacken is the house of fairy-tales written by the well-known
Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. The museum-house was opened on June 8,
1996. Here you can meet your favourite heroes from fairy-tales:
Karlsson-on-the-roof, Pippi Longstocking, Emil from Lönneberga,
Madicken and the others. This museum is very popular not only among
children, but also among grown-ups. There are always many people there,
not only the Swedes, but people from all over the world as well. The
atmosphere of joyness and fun is reigning here.
A bronze statue of Astrid Lindgren is situated near the entrance to the
Junibacken museum-house.
