Moesgaard, Archaeological museum in Højbjerg, Denmark
The Moesgaard Museum building features a sloping grass-covered roof that extends from ground level to its highest point, integrating with the surrounding landscape.
The museum, which opened its new building in 2014, evolved from its original location at Moesgaard Manor where it operated for over 40 years.
The museum showcases the Grauballe Man, an Iron Age bog body from 2,300 years ago, alongside extensive weapon collections from Illerup Ådal.
Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Wednesdays until 21:00 and weekends until 19:00.
The museum's roof transforms seasonally, serving as a picnic area in summer and becoming a natural sledding slope during winter months.
