Bexell Cottage

Alfred Bexell was the first in Sweden who bought and protected a Swedish peasant's home with the intent of turning it into a museum.

The museum continued until 1915 after which Cecilia Bexell sold most of the items in the Bexellian collections at auction.

[5] Alfred Bexell also created a different kind of "museum"[6] in a forested area which he owned, east of Varberg (northeast of the smaller village of Rolfstorp.

[7]) The area has become famous, after visitors in 1925 began discovering rocks engraved with sayings, names of noted people of the time, or mottos.

[8] In 2014 an effort was mounted to discover the extent of the engravings; as of 2016 some 600 names of famous writers, philosophers, scientists, politicians and statesmen have been identified in the carvings, as well as more than 180 aphorisms, sayings, quotes from literature, and Bexell's thoughts.
