Odense is one of Denmark's oldest cities and you can feel the presence of history everywhere. In our museums you can explore the Iron Age, Viking Age, 18th century farm village life, the Cold War and even what everyday life was like for your grand parents at Tidens Samling.

We recommend that you visit our city museum Møntergården and the open air museums The Funen Village and Odin's Odense (18th century and Iron Age / Viking Age respectively). If after that you are still in the mood for a dose of history we have several additional history themed museums - you can find them in the list below.

Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. Hans Christian Andersen
