Kulturen, Lund

Kulturen, “the Culture”, is a kind of museum in the city center of Lund, that consist of 2 large blocks with about 20 very old, but wellpreserved houses from different centuries, some of them containing museums and exhibitions, and the buildings of Kulturen are very interesting architecturally. Many events and exhibitions are going on at Kulturen, that was founded in 1882, but most of the buildings are much older, and many of them have been rebuilt or moved to Kulturen from other places.

Kulturkvadraten is the name of quarters around Kulturen and the cathedral, with buildings from as early as the late 900s.

Vita huset, the white house, is the partly modern main building and museum of Kulturen.

Undergången, the underground path that connects Kulturen’s both quarters.
