The Open-Air Museum

Immerse yourself in country life.

The Open-Air Museum is your sanctuary and our history. It’s fun and it’s learning. Rural life and village life from the 1800s to the 1960s. And among farms, mills, gardens, and houses, animals roam, insects buzz, and flowers grow—reminding us of where we come from and telling us something about who we are today. It’s summer, it’s sunshine, and it’s rainy weather. And in all kinds of weather, you are very welcome here at the Open-Air Museum.

Houses, farms and mils
Move through 350 years of history as you step into houses, farms, and mills from Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and Småland. Experience how people lived back then, from the poor homes to the fine parlors. At the Open Air Museum, you can travel through time in our large collection of historical buildings. History becomes an experience and discovery when you see the house in the landscape, feel the uneven floors through your shoe soles, and watch the sunbeams falling through the window. Here are our suggestions for five historical houses you must see with your own eyes, ears, and fingers the next time you visit us.

The Freddy Frogface Village

The Freddy Frogface Village is a part of Danish culture. In The Freddy Frogface Village you can do much more than you can anywhere else. Here you can explore the large labyrinth, explore the winding path, climb apple trees, immerse yourself in the reading cave, play in the houses on Remouladegade and so much more.

Meet the horses and pet the rabbits

Between the farms, you’ll find horses, roosters, goats, sheep and many other animals. Depending on the season and weather, you’ll be able to greet and pet some of our cute “hosts” who help make the Open Air Museum something special for children and adults.

Food and drinks

In the middle of the area, you’ll find the Country Kiosk. Here you can buy sandwiches, quality sausages from the butcher, cakes, old-fashioned candy, ice cream, and both cold and hot beverages. In other words: something for every palate and occasion.

Would you like to find your way to Peter Gram’s Bakery? Just follow the scent of cinnamon and freshly brewed coffee – it will lead you straight to the door. Here, tired parents can recharge with organic barista coffee made from beans from Ønsk, while those with a sweet tooth can indulge in one of our popular cinnamon swirls.
