Audio Guide of Dalarnas Museum

The museum is located in the heart of Falun, beside the Faluån River. It generally opens from Tuesday to Sunday, 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, although I strongly recommend checking for last-minute changes on its official website.

Adult admission costs around 100 SEK, while students and seniors usually benefit from a reduced rate. Best of all, entry is generally free for children and young people up to age 19.

To truly enjoy the world’s largest collection of Dala horses and the folk art, I suggest allowing between 1.5 and 2 hours. It’s the ideal amount of time to explore the permanent exhibitions without feeling rushed.

This museum is a guardian of the Swedish soul, since Dalarna is considered the cradle of the nation’s folklore. It houses unique examples of Dalecarlian painting and textiles that define the historic identity of the region and the country.

If you want a მშვიდ experience, I recommend going on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning, right after opening. Weekends and school holidays usually see more visitors.

Yes, Dalarnas Museum is fully adapted with elevators and ramps to make access easier. Visitors with reduced mobility can enjoy all the main exhibitions comfortably.

Since you are in Falun, you should not miss the Falun Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located a short distance away. A walk through the historic wooden district of Elsborg is also highly recommended.

Do not overlook Selma Lagerlöf’s reconstructed library inside the museum; it is a hidden gem. Also, be sure to visit the museum shop, where you will find crafts of a quality far above typical souvenir stores.
