If you weren't looking for this place, you wouldn't even give its entrance a swcond thought. The…read moremuseum is entrenched 3 meters underground, and the entrance is a single door with no attendants. In fact, there was no one working there when I visited. Ticketing is on the honor system; there was an automated ticketing machine as you started the exhibit. Apparently built on the very site where the excavation work was done, the musuem is small by comparison to most. Instead of detailing the history of the place, the displays focused on everyday life of a viking living in Aarhus. That singular focus made this museum worthwhile for me. I would imagine also that this would be a great place to escape the heat in the summer.

A must visit especially during Christmas time! Old Towne is a beautifully laid museum where you can…read moresee how Dane's lived starting the 1800 up til present day! During Christmas time there is a great Christmas market they run and things from baked traditional Danish Christmas cookies/desserts, candies, souvenirs and more! It's a great time for all ages and really loved seeing how people lived as singles and as whole family unit throughout the decades. Children from 0-17yo enter for free too!

One of my favorite, most interactive museums I have ever been to! Den Gamle By does such an…read moreexcellent job at presenting Denmark's history using all of the 5 senses! The layout is as though you are walking through a village throughout different centuries, and the buildings truly pay homage to the decade they are inspired by. The food is also excellent, everything from a bakery to hot dogs. You can even buy soap, books, homemade gifts and other knick-knacks. My absolute favorite section included the living quarters of different individuals from the 1970's. It was really like stepping back into time, and the way the museum was decorated for the holiday season is so traditionally beautiful. My best friend's family brought me here to experience Denmark's history while munching on traditional foods and embracing the holiday festivities. There are also games and activities for the little ones, and the live actors are so kind. There is really something for everybody here, and if you're in Aarhus, do stop by! You won't regret it!

They had a lot of artifacts that were brought back by a Danish explorer. In other areas they covered the people and culture of Denmark over thousands of years. The main attraction is the bog body. That's the body of a man who lived 2000 years ago. It is well preserved by the bog. We spent far more time here than we should have because it was so interesting.

The only minus is that the panini's are overpriced and too small to provide a lunch if you plan on staying there a whole afternoon. It is and will probably continue to be my favorite cafe to work from when I'm in Aarhus
