The Bexell Cottage (Swedish: Bexellska stugan) is a small cottage in Varberg, Sweden. The Bexell Cottage was originally built in 1785 in Harplinge. In 1876, it was bought by politician, member of parliament and land tenure Alfred Bexell, from its owner Jöns Jönsson (born 1828) together with all movable. Jönsson was only allowed to retain his day dress, according to the purchase agreement. Even Jönsson's snuffbox passed to the ownership of Bexell. Alfred Bexell was the first in Sweden who bought and protected a Swedish peasant's home for museal purpose. He inspired Arthur Hazelius to establish the open-air museum Skansen in Stockholm.
