Press Release Mar 20, 2013 07:57 GMT
On Maundy Thursday children in Sweden dress up as witchew and on Skansen the entrance is free for all of them this day. Here they can make brooms and pretend they're taking off for Blåkulla. Nowadays boys also join in dressed up in wizard costumes, and the Bollnäs square, apart from being well swept, is also the venue for a type of Skansen quidditch.
Christmas is a special time of year at Skansen. Here the spirit of celebration lives on, and people can enjoy the ambiance, the music and the preparations first hand. Photographer Ola Högberg captured a few moments of the Christmas spirit at Skansen.
