VISION FOR

THE NATURAL AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPE

A relaxing space for everyone

In Moesgaard’s natural and cultural landscape, just 10 minutes by car from the centre of Aarhus, both residents of city and visitors to Aarhus find magnificent nature, stories and experiences combined in one landscape. A green sanctuary, where you can go into the countryside in the city, offering many functions for the enjoyment of many different users.

Here, the people of Aarhus can walk their dogs, run, cycle or ride. Go for a walk in protected nature of the forest or gaze at ancient monuments. On your own, as a couple or family of several generations.

The unique context

From the roof of Moesgaard you can enjoy a view of Denmark in concentrated form: sea, beaches, forest, islands and village churches. An experience that presents the whole history of Denmark, from the earliest times until today. What is unique is the connection between the landscape’s telling of history and the museum’s presentation of it.

Out in the landscape, you will be able to experience the present reality together with an innovative, historical presentation – and inside the museum experience the interpreted, historical reality with authentic objects.

Experience the natural and cultural landscape

From a short stroll in the nearby manor house landscape to a longer walk along Moesgaard’s beautiful Prehistoric Trail – experiences are waiting! Or how about a bike ride on the newly-laid cycle route, which winds through the natural and cultural landscape?
