Naturum Sommen

Naturum Sommen is a visitor center and natural history museum located in Torpön Island in Lake Sommen in the South Swedish highlands. The building is modelled after a traditional boathouse.^[1] The idea of a nature museum was first conceived in 1996 and the museum was inaugurated in 2002.^[2] It was supported by the local history society of Torpön (Swedish: Torpöns hembygsförening)^[2] until late 2013, when the funds ran out. It reopened in 2014.^[3][4][5] Since 2017, it is run by the Ydre municipality.^[2]
