History
The reason for the creation of the museum was the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914. In that year, the Scanian Agricultural Association celebrated its 100th anniversary and was present at the fair with a historical pavilion, where agricultural tools and objects from the 18th and 19th centuries were exhibited. After the end of the exhibition, most exhibits were given away to the Agricultural Institute in Alnarp as a gift. The pavilion was dismantled and mostly reused as building material for the museum in Alnarp.
