The History of Tobacco Columbus was introduced to the use of tobacco when he arrived in America in 1492.  Sailors brought the use back to Europe, and it reached Sweden in the latter half of the 16th century.  Swedes started to smoke tobacco in pipes, use chewing tobacco, and take dried stuff nasally. The Museum has a collection of early white clay pipes, and demonstrates how they were manufactured. It has also a collection of snuffboxes of silver, wood, brass and copper and many accessories related to smoking cigars and cigarettes. The Tobacco Factory The basement houses the tobacco factory, where historical brands are manufactured on certain days, using authentic machines.  Moist snuff is packed into kardus ( a special type of heavy paper) and the pipemaker makes clay pipes. The Ottoman Room It was fashionable in the 1890s that bourgeois homes had a gentleman's study characterised by an oriental design.  This room could be called the Ottoman room, Tur...

Discover Army Museum What was the everyday life like for a soldier during the Thirty Years' War, and what was it like to grow up in neutral Sweden during World War 11?   The Army Museum uncovers the fascinating history of Sweden from 16th century Landsknechts to the slimmed defence forces of our time. We focus on the soldiers, their families and the countryside peasantry, and less on sprawling battles and renowned generals.

Children are welcome to follow in the footsteps of the soldier through the museum, to experience camp life and find the spoils of war.

Uppsala University's first Botanical Garden (1655 - 1798) lies behind a green fence in central Uppsala.   The garden is a reconstruction of Linnaeus' Botanical Garden as it was in the mid 1700s. Linnaeus observed nature's seasonal changes among the dazzling flowerbeds, formal hedges, marshes and ponds. He made scientific observations and taught students here.  Each section of the garden had a purpose. Each plant was carefully chosen educational grounds. You are closest to his scientific achievements in his garden, where more than 1,000 species are cultivated in accordance with his sexual system. Linnaeus' family furniture and household items are preserved in the Linnaeus museum, the house that was his professorial residence. The feeling of stepping straight into the 1700s is palpable. Linnaeus sat in his room here, writing his scientific works and reading letters from friends and colleagues who sent him plants and seeds from all corners of the globe.  His libra...
