Stenbäcks Flygmuseum
Stenbäcks Flygmuseum is a relatively small museum, but what they lack in size they make up for in stories and number of various artifacts. We visited outside the normal opening hours, and got a private tour and got to hear the stories behind the various aircraft and aircraft parts/artifacts at the museum. Well worth the visit!

Aeroseum
This museum calls itself Swedens largest flight experience center. And after walking around both inside and outside the museum, I have to agree. This museum is almost like it’s from another planet - it’s bigger on the inside! So much bigger.
