Christmas creatures at Moesgaard
Meet 10 of the darkest Christmas creatures three Saturdays before Christmas.
Close to Christmas, the gate between ours and the Christmas world is open. Creatures from ancient European Christmas myths slip out of the darkness and into the museum's exhibitions.
If you're lucky and alert, you can experience 10 living creatures at Moesgaard, including Gwiazdor, the Yule Goat and Krampus.
