Museum of Ancient Art, Aarhus — museum

Museum of Ancient Art, Aarhus (Antikmuseet) is a small university museum tucked into Aarhus University’s green park—an easy, low-key cultural stop away from the busy city centre pace. The mood is quiet and study-friendly, which makes it especially good for looking closely rather than rushing through. Expect a mix of plaster casts of iconic classical sculptures and original antiquities and coins that trace Mediterranean cultures from early civilisations to the Roman world. Best of all, admission is free, so it’s a perfect “drop-in” museum for a spare hour in Aarhus.
