This fantastic place can be visited at least 3 times: With friends, with children and alone. That's how an open-air museum should be. If you want to see a historical Danish city you can go to Ebeltoft or to this museum. If you want to trace the recent past, you will also find the everyday life of the 1970s in the latest exhibition! That's great. Finally, an open-air museum that takes the recent past seriously. Parents and grandparents can show their offspring how they lived. I have seen people in their fifties enthusiastically sharing their memories. Just one example: The perfectly recreated bike and motorcycle workshop (with matching laissez faire) from the 70s even smelled like a workshop!
If you had a past in the 70s, then you should definitely go to the museum alone. You will then discover in peace the many, many details that make up an environment. They will awaken areas of your memory that were buried. I left the museum with the feeling of having been showered in my brain:). Why is this museum so good? Partly because it's scientifically accurate. So the museum is not a fun park, but for most visitors it certainly offers more fun than a fun park. The experience is valuable and incredibly entertaining.
