Cesare Lombroso was an Italian criminologist, physician and phrenologist, who posed that crime is a characteristic trait of human nature. His role as the creator of criminal atavism remains controversial. You are invited to learn about the errors in his scientific method. In 2009, to mark the centenary of his death, the museum was revamped to better showcase the macabre collections: anatomical specimens and drawings, photographs, as well as valuable craft and artistic works created by asylum and prison inmates.

The Emigrants Monument, an evocative representation of Karl-Oskar and Kristina from William Moberg's novel 'The Emigrants', graces the beach promenade in Karlshamn's Hamnparken. Crafted by the skilled hands of Axel Olson, this life-size bronze statue was unveiled in 1959. Serving as a poignant memorial, it honours the over 1 million Swedes who, between 1848 and 1930, left their homeland in pursuit of a better life, escaping the clutches of hunger and poverty. Many embarked on their journey to the United States from the very port of Karlshamn. Olson's masterpiece captures the essence of this historical exodus, portraying Karl Oskar and Kristina gazing out over the sea, symbolizing the hopeful embarkation of countless emigrants on their transformative adventure.

The seaside promenade is a lovely hiking trail along the coast in central Karlshamn. It is about 2 kilometres long and starts at the statue of the emigrants, Karl Oskar and Kristina, in Näsviken. The hiking trail goes all the way out to Vägga fishing harbour, where you'll find a smokehouse, fish restaurant, café, and campsite. Along the trail, there are several public barbecue spots and places with great views to enjoy. Along the way, you'll also pass by Cafe Villa Utsikten (only open in the summer, but a very nice viewpoint all year round), paddle courts, Väggabadet (swimming pools) and Karlshamn’s Kallbadhus (outdoor swimming bath).
