Kommandørgården, Farm museum from 1749 in Rømø, Denmark.

The Kommandørgården exhibits restored living spaces, kitchens, cellars, and chambers that show the daily life of wealthy whaling commanders from centuries past.

Built in 1749, this farm belonged to maritime commanders who made their fortune through Arctic whaling expeditions during Denmark's prosperous seafaring period.

The museum displays traditional furnishings, Dutch tiles, local textiles, and craftwork that represent the material culture of maritime families in southern Denmark.

Visitors can explore the museum from May through September, Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with reduced hours during October and Easter period.

The barn contains the complete skeleton of a sperm whale, demonstrating the scale of marine creatures hunted by local commanders in northern waters.
