Frilandsmuseet open air museum at Lyngby on the edge of Copenhagen whisks visitors back into a vivid recreation of bygone Denmark. Complete with period buildings and costumed interpretative staff, it's an absorbing view of Hans Christian Andersen's era.
An interactive and immersive experience for visitors seeking to learn more about Denmark's recent history, Copenhagen's Open Air Museum is one of the largest and oldest in the world. Spread across 86 acres, among the museum's sprawl of attractions are more than 50 farms, mills and houses from the period 1650-1950.
A microcosm of all that is Danish, virtually every region of the country is represented, while settlements characteristic of former Danish strongholds in southern Sweden, northern Germany and the Faeroe Islands also feature.
