This week I only had one lecture, so I had a lot of spare time on my hands and not much to do. On Thursday me and my friend Amy decided to check out what free things there were to see in Lund.
We had wanted to visit the Historical Museum but it is closed until March (helpfully they neglect to mention this on their website!) So we had a quick Google and ended up at the Livet Museum (Life Museum). It is only a small little place which opened in 2012 and its has small exhibits on medical technology, the human body and scientific advances. It is not the kind of place I would usually think to visit, and everything was in Swedish with no English translations so I didn't really understand most of it, but it was still an interesting visit and kept us out of the cold for a bit if nothing else.
Again, I only had my iPhone with me so sorry for the picture quality.
No idea what this is or how it is medically relevant but hey ho.
I love all the old chemical jars, they remind me of my grandparents house (my Grancher is a chemist and so they have old chemical jars on their shelves).
After a quick look around the life museum we headed towards All Saints Church, an imposing red brick Catholic church near the main University Library.
Being a Catholic church it is very ornate inside, a total contrast to the simple stone interior of the Cathedral.
I particularly like the old patterned floor tiles.
So yeah, that was our day really. We didn't do anything very exciting but it was nice to see some quirky little parts of Lund that you wouldn't really come across. Everyone I have met so far on exchange has been so lovely and it is really nice to be around people who are interested in going out and DOING things and exploring, even if that means spending the day looking at an exhibition of prosthetic limbs!
