Time seems to have taken a break on this clock which tops the historic 1680 Skogaholm manor house at Stockholm’s Skansen outdoor museum and park. And that’s not a bad idea for visitors, either. Skansen, which first opened on one of Stockholm’s islands late in the 19th century is a fascinating place for adults and children alike.

Many of the exhibits include costumed interpreters. For a bigger view of Skansen, click HERE.
