Do we really become kind from eating gingerbread cookies and why is the straw goat under the Christmas tree?
Before Advent, the entire Gamla Linköping is decorated in Christmas attire. In the noble 18th-century home von Lingens gård, the Christmas straw has been brought in, and the table Christmas tree is decorated with cookies and other goodies. In the bourgeois Villa Lugnet from the early 20th century, the table is set with ham and Janssons frestelse, and the family’s Christmas decorations have been taken out of cabinets and drawers.
Welcome to an educational and atmospheric Christmas tour in two of Gamla Linköping’s beautiful museum homes. We take a closer look at some of our most common Christmas traditions and how they have developed over time.
Recommended age: The tour is aimed at adults but is suitable from about 10 years old.
Meeting point: Outside Gamla Linköping’s visitor center & museum shop, Tunnbindaregatan 8
