Museum Give offers a unique museum experience for the entire family. Together, kids and adults can dig into the history of life and everyday tasks of the moorland farmer, explore craftsmanship and shops from the past, visit the village school classroom and participate in fun activities.
Museum Give is geographically located at the edge – between the moorlands of West Jutland and the arable lands of East Jutland.
This edge also carries a historical significance, as the core narrative of Museum Give focuses on the borders between the old and the new, between tradition and change.
Museum Give is child-friendly and accessible to people with disabilities.
We can’t wait to see you!
Exhibitions
Museum Give presents three main exhibitions:
- On the edge of a new era – from moorland to potato fields: In this exhibition, you enter the farm called Nygård. Here, you get the opportunity to dress up, feel the greasy wool in the animal stable and explore the many corners and nooks of the old farm. The citizens of Nygård have entered a new era, where former moorlands have been replaced by lush potato fields.
- Trade and crafts – on the edge of specialization: In this exhibition, you enter an indoor street, where you can stop by the merchant, the hair dresser, and the shoemaker. You can also explore historical craftsmanship from a time when people specialized in their fields, before supermarkets and online shopping became the norm.
- 1930s village school: In this exhibition, you enter the classroom of a village school, where the desks are lined up in straight rows. The classroom is authentically furnished and reflects a time when rote learning and discipline were core elements of education.
In addition to these exhibitions, we have varying temporary exhibitions, as well as activities based on the changing seasons and holidays.
