Open-air museums, Denmark

Open-air museums cover stone age villages, viking villages and harbours, regional farms, old half-timbered houses as well as old town and village communities, which have been reerected or restored and by that appear like in former times. Here you can get acquainted with the peoples living condition during a certain epoch. In order to illustrate the life of the old town communities even better, the open-air museums are vitalized during the school holidays by persons, who are dressed in the old costumes and carry out crafts, agricultural and domestic work - exactly as in the old days. You are often invited to participate in the vitalization and grabble with the old crafts, cooking etc. You are able to see, smell and feel the atmosphere of the intense environment with people, animals, houses, workshops, shops and demonstrations of old work methods, and follow the course of life on a farm, where the work is carried out by means of the original tools - in the house, in the stable and on the fields.
