Frilandsmuseet Herning

About

Just a stroll away from the shopping streets of Herning you can step 200 years back into history. The open air museum of Herning offers a genuine old-fashioned village atmosphere, as it shows the country life the way it was lived on the heath in the 19th century. Frilandsmuseet Herning gives you a unique opportunity to experience rural life as it was lived back in the day on the heath in Central and West Jutland.You can also experience the WW2 apartment and the exhibition of the folklorist Evald Tang Kristensen – or explore the Jens Nielsen’s Farm, which is one of the museum’s most popular attractions, especially for children. Here, more than 100 different diorama boxes show the life and the passing of the year at a farm in the early 1900s.
