About the museum
Ebbas hus is a small yellow town house on Snapperupsgatan in Malmö, where parts of the building go back to the 18th century. The city surveyor Jöns Olsson bought the property in 1873, and his son Olof moved in with his family in 1911. The daughter Ebba then lived in the house for almost her entire life.
Ebba Olsson gave the house to Malmö city in 1984 so that it would be preserved and could show children how people lived in the past. After her death in 1989 the museum took over her furnishings, and the house opened to visitors in 1991.
In the house there is a kitchen with a wood-burning stove, a hall, a dining room and a parlour with dark wooden furniture, as well as a bedroom on the upper floor restored to its 1910s appearance. There are also furniture, china, linen and kitchen utensils that belonged to Ebba, and in the yard there are an earth closet, a woodshed and a cellar. The house is part of Malmö Museer.
