The WEIRD and WONDERFUL South Sweden

The south of Sweden is absolutely gorgeous - but it's also filled with some of the strangest museums in the world. In this video I explore both the beauty and the weirdness of south Sweden!

This was a 1600 km long journey (1000 miles), and it took me from Stockholm, through the towns of Oskarshamn, Kalmar, Nybro, Karlskrona, Önneköp, Malmö, Mölle, Älmhult, Ljungby and back to Stockholm. And along the way I saw both historical castles and unique places.
Kalmar is one of Sweden's oldest cities, and this is where Scandinavia became united under the Kalmar Union between the 14th and the 16th century. And close to Kalmar you find the town of Nybro, with the world's only permanent James Bond museum. The museum is run by a man called...James Bond.
From there I traveled to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Karlskrona, where a Russian submarine went aground in 1981 - and almost started a war between Sweden and Russia. From there I visited the car cemetary at Kyrkö mosse, outside of Ryd, and Arnold's Cannibal Museum in Önneköp.
After that it was onwards to Malmö - the crime capital of Sweden - with its infamous Disgusting Food Museum. I also paid a visit to Nimis and the micronation of Ladonia in the south-west of Sweden. Followed by a visit to the IKEA Museum in Älmhult - where the first IKEA store opened.
But there was more to see! How about Cliff Burton's memorial stone? And a statue of Brigitte of Sweden? This trip had a lot of both weird and wonderful sights from the south of Sweden.

    I've seen some more typical vlogs of southern Sweden...mostly drives from Malmö to Simrishamn and the coast. Nothing covering museums and the odder things in the region, so this was great! Arnold's museum looking like fun -- and the hair shot was a riot. The Ladonia stop was also great. Is there any upkeep on the sculptures, or is it wander-at-your-own-risk? 😀

    Arnold was a completely amazing guy! But so was James Bond, actually :D I loved Ladonia (or Nimis) but there's definitely no upkeep. There's rusty nails all over the place, murky planks, etc. I felt a bit worried when kids were running around chasing each other in there ^_^

    Awesome video, the south of Sweden has a lot of interesting things from old military forts to a. Museum dedicated to terrible food, now who would think about opening that type of museum? The James Bond museum looked really cool with all the artifacts, I must say the rabbit holding the pistol made me laugh, I guess if we hunt them, fair is fair. Stay Safe till next time

    I guessed the Cliff Burton site as soon as it said Ljungby on the screen. Can't imagine there much else out there, apart from the Cliff Burton museum, or whatever it's called. That car cemetery almost looks like a big post-modern art installation.
