Møntergården, Cultural history museum in Odense, Denmark.
Description
Møntergården is a cultural history museum in Odense spread across multiple buildings with exhibitions about urban life. The oldest structure dates to 1646, while a contemporary addition completed in 2013 connects the spaces and houses additional galleries.
History
The property began as a winter residence for nobleman Falk Gøye built in 1646. It later served as a merchant's house before the City of Odense acquired and transformed it into a museum in 1930.
Culture
The exhibitions show how people lived and worked in this city across different periods. You encounter objects from daily life that reveal the rhythms and habits of past generations.
Practical
The museum occupies separate buildings on the property, each serving different exhibition purposes, including a children's museum in a 1800s structure. Facilities include a ticket area, shop, and gallery spaces for temporary exhibitions that are easy to navigate.
Did you know?
During the 2010-2013 renovation, archaeologists discovered structural remains from the 1200s beneath the ground level. These findings show that settlement at this location existed centuries before the standing 1646 building.
