Why Moesgaard Museum matters
Moesgaard is an archaeology museum in a building that looks like a hillside, with a grassy slope that locals use for picnics and sledging. Inside, exhibits trace Denmark's story from the Stone Age to the Vikings, including the Grauballe Man, a bog body from the Iron Age who is preserved remarkably well. The landscape around the museum leads down to a beach and woodland.
Talking points
- The sloping grass roof doubles as a hill for picnics.
- The Grauballe Man is a bog body from the Iron Age.
- A woodland path leads from the museum down to the sea.
