Over the years about 150 historical buildings have been moved here from nearly every part of Sweden. Most of them date from the 18th and 19th centuries. [more info]

Your description of Skansen reminds me of Greenfield Village, which is in the Detroit area near where I grew up. Henry Ford had moved many historical building from around the States to that outdoor museum as well.
I love the way you use shadows. In this photo, the angle makes the shadow look like a reflection of the flower. And then, the shadow is nicely centered on the shutter. Wow, what a touch! The colors of the building complement the colors of the plant very delightfully.
