About Moesgaard Museum

A three Michelin star holder in the Michelin attraction guide, the Moesgaard Museum is focused on archeology and the ethnography of Denmark. Along with the museum and its exhibits, the Moesgaard is also oft-visited for its beautiful location that overlooks a forest and the sea. One of the main attractions at the museum is the Evolutionary Stairway with its seven hominins that helps you understand the origins of the homo sapiens.  Along with artifacts pertaining to Danish Ethnography, there are also objects covering human history from the rest of the world. People line up to see the Graubelle Man- the most well-preserved Bog Body in the world. Not only do you get to see the objects, but you also get to understand the thought process of people who work to extract these objects through set reconstructions and dramatic narratives. Innovations in technology have allowed a lot of experiences in the museum to be interactive. Thanks to this, even young children will not be bored here for hours.
