Friluftsmuseet Disagården

About

Friluftsmuseet Disagården is an open‑air museum that brings the rural history of Uppland to life through its beautifully preserved farmsteads and traditional buildings. Set in the peaceful landscape of Gamla Uppsala, it recreates the atmosphere of an 18th‑ and 19th‑century countryside community, with wooden houses, barns, workshops, and gardens arranged as they once were. Walking through the site feels like stepping into another era, where everyday life was shaped by seasonal work, craftsmanship, and close ties to the land. During the summer months, guides in period clothing demonstrate historic skills and domestic routines, offering insight into how families lived, cooked, farmed, and celebrated. The museum’s natural surroundings add to its charm, making it a serene place for slow exploration. Disagården provides an engaging and authentic window into Uppland’s rural heritage, connecting visitors with traditions that shaped the region for centuries.
