Stadslifv

Permanent exhibition
Vy från utställningen Stadslifv. I bildens ena kant syns en tecknad flicka och bakom henne en stor väggmålning med slagord som Frihet, jämlikhet och broderskap. Finns även ett stort äldre fotografi med småflickor.

The Stadslifv exhibition tells the history of Trelleborg, from the 6th century to the present day. It covers the city’s evolution from a small settlement to regaining its city rights and the transition of rural workers into industrial workers.

Step into the director’s office and listen to the industrial magnates of the 19th century arguing over who has done the most for the city. Follow the girl Ella through the exhibition and listen to her stories about growing up in a poor working-class family or get to know the many dedicated individuals who fought for better working conditions in the city’s factories.
