Moesgaard Museum — museum

Moesgaard Museum is where archaeology feels almost cinematic—dramatic lighting, sound, scenography and stories told through people rather than “just objects in cases”. Just south of Aarhus in Højbjerg, the iconic building melts into the hillside, and visitors can walk up the sloping green roof for panoramic views of the woods and Aarhus Bay. Inside you travel from the Stone Age to Vikings and the Iron Age, including headline finds such as the Grauballe Man bog body. Give yourself a few hours—this is one of the region’s most memorable cultural stops.
