The Tegnér museum

Esaias Tegnér (1782–1846) was one of the most significant Swedish authors and poets of his time. During his time as a professor in Lund, he lived with his family in a half-timbered house on Stora Gråbrödersgatan. In the museum, some rooms from Tegnér’s home are recreated, with original furnishings and various Tegnér memories.
