Α fantastic experience all the way. Lots of interesting information regarding emigration to the USA, a trip into the glass history, and many interesting facts about Växjö's urban development. It worths to invest some time and visit

Very interesting place to visit and look at. Great history of Sweden. Would recommend to others, they even had some of the writing in English so you could gain an appreciation for some of the exhibits. Would recommend to others

Very cool museum charting the history of glass manufacturing and art in the region. Incredible array of both production pieces and artworks, attached to a second museum or local history.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
