A medieval Skåne university town whose page looks like a faculty directory that occasionally wanders into the arts — a Physician bench running at better than four times the global baseline, an Artist concentration at similar heights, a thick nineteenth-century Painter and Architect presence, and, in a twist nobody sees coming, a Handball cluster at better than eight times baseline.
One face per decade — the most globally famous figure born in Lund during each.
