Skansen Stockholm Sweden - Valborgsmässoafton

Skansen was founded by Artur Hazelius in 1891. It is the world’s oldest open-air museum and is situated on the island of Djurgården within the city limits of Stockholm, Sweden. Visitors to Skansen meet a miniature historical Sweden reflected both in the buildings and their surroundings. At Skansen there are also domestic and wild Nordic animals such as bears, wolves and lynx. You also find a nice consert and entertainment stage called Solliden. Probably where Valborgsmässoafton is celebrated. Valborgsmässoafton is celebrated 30th April - 1st May, and is one of the most festive evenings in Sweden. A very nice and early poster by Tor Hinnerud ready to go on the wall.
