Publishers Description: In "Den Gamle By" we work with the past, but we do so in the present with a view to the future. There is research behind everything that we do, but despite this we do not wish the Museum to appear academic. Den Gamle By holds knowledge, which may have become superfluous, but which may perhaps prove useful in the future. We focus on Danish history. We think that one should be able to feel and sense history-taste, smell, and experience it. It should be enjoyable to visit museums, and we are convinced that providing museum visitors with a good experience will open up for thoughts and contemplation, which is the museums true objective.
