Step back to the early 1900s and explore life on the Jutland heath at Museum Give. Visit an authentic farmhouse, discover traditional crafts and trades, and experience how rural Denmark met the challenges of a changing world.
Travel through time to Central Jutland in 1910, where the landscape and local communities were undergoing profound transformation. At Museum Give, the Nygård farm sets the stage for a story of change—where open heathlands slowly gave way to productive farmland.
Inside the farmhouse, you’ll get a hands-on feel for daily life over a century ago. Cook on a wood-burning stove, inspect the traditional sleeping alcove, and feel the raw wool used in everyday chores. Outdoors, the chicken yard and potato fields show how the rural way of life evolved, shaped by necessity and innovation.
Beyond the farm, explore the recreated village of Vesterby, complete with working workshops representing the crafts and trades of the time. Step into the 1930s village school at Stenbrogård and try your hand at old-fashioned lessons. The museum also features relaxing outdoor areas like a forest playground and an allotment garden, ideal for breaks or open-fire cooking.
Guests can enjoy self-guided exploration or join ongoing activities during opening hours. Two outdoor bonfire areas are available for cooking, located near the forest playground and Kolonihaven garden. Children can collect stamps for their Be Happy Pass by solving the museum’s activity puzzle. Free parking is available. All activities are conducted in Danish.
