Ground floor - Children's Museum
Take the whole family on a historical journey where kids can play their way through history. At the Children’s Museum, the past comes to life as you’re allowed to touch, try things out, climb, crawl, jump, and explore. Before letting the kids loose, please note that we close at 4:30 p.m. so the museum is ready for new adventures the next day.
Travel back to the Viking Age, go shopping at a bazaar in Pakistan, or experience everyday life in the Middle Ages. Climb aboard the Viking ship Fafner, dress up as Vikings, bake bread over an open fire, or try your hand at life in a medieval castle. Here, history isn’t just something you watch—you get to experience it for yourself.

“Can I tell you a secret?”
There are only very few things that the Egtved Girl has left behind. A bit of skin, hair, clothing, a small amount of brain tissue, and then an imprint of her delicate body. But who was she, and what did she look like? Meet the Egtved Girl's avatar in the exhibition about Denmark's Ancient Times.
