About

Ebbas Hus is Malmö’s smallest museum and one of its most charming time capsules, offering a rare glimpse into everyday life in the early 20th century. This tiny preserved home once belonged to Ebba Olsson, who lived here for decades and kept the interior almost unchanged, allowing today’s visitors to step directly into the atmosphere of the 1910s and 1920s. The rooms are filled with original furniture, textiles, and personal objects that reveal the simplicity and intimacy of working‑class life in a rapidly modernising city. Its narrow layout, creaking floors, and carefully maintained details create a sense of authenticity that larger museums cannot replicate. Ebbas Hus stands as a gentle reminder of Malmö’s domestic history, celebrating the stories of ordinary people who shaped the city’s character.
