The Old Town

The Old Town museum features 75 historical buildings from various Danish towns, arranged to demonstrate urban life from the 1700s to the 1970s.

Founded in 1914 by Peter Holm, the museum began with the renaissance-styled Mayor's House and expanded through donations of buildings from twenty different townships.

Staff members wear period clothing while demonstrating traditional trades and skills, maintaining workshops, stores, and households representing different time periods.

The museum maintains varied seasonal hours, opening at 10:00 most of the year, with admission prices ranging from 75 to 135 Danish Krone.

The museum divides its exhibits into three distinct time periods: 18th-19th centuries, 1927, and 1974, allowing visitors to experience Danish urban evolution.
