Thunströms köpmansgård stands on Slaggatan between Stora torget and Kung Gustafs torg in central Falun. A trading farm from the end of the 1700s, the building underwent refurbishment in the early 1990s and now opens during the summer. It was owned by Erik Thunström between 1897 and the mid-1940s, before being passed to the köpmannaföreningen i Falun and eventually to the Falun culture committee.
The museum offers an engaging shopping experience, with a collection of vintage candies and toys for sale. Visitors can also enjoy a coffee in the lush garden café on the inner courtyard. During the summer, the old barn serves as a venue for concerts and theater performances.
Special plays performed in the barn include 'En ny dag på Thunströms köpmansgård', which tells the history of the city of Falun, and 'Teaterupptåget på Thunströms', which focuses on the variety artist Ernst Rolf. Musicians such as Tallest man on earth have performed in the old barn.
