I really liked this place. The museum isn't that big but it's mostly about the history of Jews in Sweden. You can spend an hour or two there among the exhibits and descriptions.

Small and charming museum in the old synagogue's building. We stumbled upon it on accident and decided to visit & didn't regret it. I wish there was more to see though :)

Small and cozy museum that some days are free of charge, see the Web page. If you as I studied a lot about WWII it might be a bit repetarive but on the good side it has a lot of info about the Swedish involvement and attitude over centurys. Good for both non Swedish speakers and has audio. A place to respect. Giftshop is very small but cute. Prices are not very cheap but not expensive either.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
