Title: Are there any museums in Stockholm for children? (not Junibacken)
Question: I heard about museum near the Stockholm in which children can make some experiments in chemistry, physics and so on, but I completely forgot its name. Can you help me to find some information about it (in English, if available)? Are there any analogs of such museum in other European countries?

sents: text: Another museum that might be interesting for kids (and adults as well) in Stockholm is Skansen (the open air museum).
text: It recreates the way of life in rural Sweden 200 years ago.
text: Various traditionally dressed craftsmen show their crafts in old historical cabins with historical decor.
text: Crafts widely range:
text: glass-blowing, making cheese, baking, making yarn out of flax, etc.
text: All these processes are demonstrated and explained, and children are able to participate (there might be a line to participate, but it's possible to watch).
text: The bakery sells their pastries directly to the customers, and I was told that the cheese made in Skansen is used in the food that is served in their cafeteria.
text: In addition there is also a zoo in Skansen.
