If you spent the night at the hostel in Hovra and feel like visiting the interesting and entertaining “Old Lady-museum” (Tantmuseet), here is your chance! The museum opened up in 2006 by the owner and artist Eva Björk. She filled the old general store of Hovra with objects owned by and linked to elderly women – like lace cloths, pot holders, aprons, gloves, shoes, coffee pots and hair curlers among other things – to celebrate the forgotten qualities and favourable traits of the “old lady” of Sweden.
