Museums
- Zorngården was the home of Anders and Emma Zorn. It is shown today as it was at the time of Emma Zorn's death in 1942. With inspiration from English and Swedish architecture, it is a fine example of the architecture which characterizes the years around 1900.
- The Zorn Museum (Swedish: Zornmuseet), Ragnar Östberg's last work, is a two-storied rectangular brick building in the classical style. Zorn Museum displays for the most part work by Anders Zorn and examples of his artistic variety - oil paintings, water colors, etchings and sculptures.
- Gammelgård is Zorn’s Old Farm consisting of about 40 old houses, grouped around a farm, a mill, chalets, and boathouses. Gammelgård provides the opportunity to see how the Dalarna farmers lived in the past. Textilkammare, the Textile Room, was added in 1993 to display parts of the Zorn family collection of country textiles.
- Gopsmor was a combination of a fishing cottage and a wilderness studio, situated some 20 kilometeres to the north of Mora. Zorn arranged for some old log buildings to be moved there. It became something of an asylum for him when he became too well known in Mora.

—Henry James (1843–1816)
“Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters.... We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.”
