Location
Museet på Karlsfors
Museet på Karlsfors är ett arbetslivsmuseum om alun- och kalkindustrihistoria. Vi lyfter fram en industrialiseringsepok på Billingen - Falbygden.
I ett litet utställningsrum visar vi hur alun och kalk var råvaror med stort värde under de första faserna av industrialiseringen i Sverige.
På guidningar och vandringar visar vi hur landskapet förändrades efter industrialiseringen. Till skillnad från andra museityper har arbetslivsmuseer lämningar utomhus och en gemenskap som aktivt bidrar till museets verksamhet.
Bränning och spelmanstämma
Museet arrangerar varje september en kalkbränning så att besökarna kan uppleva arbetarnas kalkhantverk.
En kalkugn tänds en fredag morgon och bränningen sker dag och natt. Museets medlemmar turas om, under nästan 80 timmar, att mata elden.
I samband med bränningen arrangerar Museet på Karlsfors en spelmanstämma. Musiker från olika håll i regionen samlas runt kalkugnen för att spela tillsammans. Alla är välkomna att dansa, sjunga, spela, grilla, vandra och njuta av elden.
