Glud Museum, Open-air museum in Glud, Denmark.
Glud Museum is an open-air site with restored historic buildings, including farmhouses, fishing cottages, and agricultural structures that represent rural Danish architecture. The buildings date from different centuries and show you how homes and work spaces were organized and built during those times.
The museum was founded in 1912 and preserves Denmark's oldest dated farmhouse from 1662. These buildings document more than 300 years of rural history and show how the countryside evolved over long periods of time.
The buildings display objects and arrangements that show how rural families actually lived and worked across different periods. You can observe how daily tasks, tools, and home life evolved as society changed around them.
The site is best visited from spring through autumn when all buildings are open and you can move freely around the grounds. Plan for a leisurely walk through the area since you can enter many houses and there is no shelter from the weather.
An old electrical distribution station shows how electricity first arrived in rural areas and changed daily life. You can also see fishing nets and mattresses filled with seaweed, revealing how people used nearby resources.
