The great story of you and people

In the deep layers of the past you will find inspiring activities, finds and stories that make both children and adults even more aware of all those who once lived.

In the exhibitions you can touch, listen, read, see and be part of stories from the past. We need to feel history with all our senses to understand it.

The Celtic World

SPECIAL EXHIBITION

Who were the Celts?

Are you familiar with Asterix, Obelix and the brave Gauls? The Gauls were Celts – and you can now find the portal to their world at Moesgaard!

In the special exhibition ‘The Celtic World’, you walk through the skull gate into a wild and beautiful world of heroes, heroines, druids and a Halloween atmosphere.

You are perhaps also familiar with some of the fantasy stories about magical rings, portals and Patronuses – many of these stories have been inspired by the myths of the Celts.

BOG BODY

Meet Grauballe Man

Come very close to the world's best-preserved bog body: Grauballe Man lived more than 2,000 years ago, when he was sacrificed to the gods in a bog - the world of the gods was beneath the surface of the water in the bog. And perhaps divine forces were at play in the bog, as it has preserved him with skin, hair and nails. Grauballe Man is a fascinating encounter with the past for both young and old.

RESEARCHER FOR A DAY

Moesgaard Junior

With Moesgaard Junior, children, families with children and the young at heart can play and learn about the people of the past. The laboratory covers two floors filled with archaeological tasks, mysteries and interactive games. When you put on your lab coat, you can search for answers below the surface of the sea and in the deep layers of the past.

THE STORY OF HUMANS

MEET YOUR VERY LARGE FAMILY

On the museum’s central steps – the Stairway of Evolution – you meet the human before the human, and humans from a distant past. Here, you can say hello to your very large family and add a few photos, which you might be missing, to your family album. Who do you most look like?
