KØN - Gender Museum Denmark

The Green Museum is Denmarks national museum for hunting, forrest, agriculture and food. This living museum is located right in the nature in Auning on the peninsula of Djursland in Jutland. The Green Museum offers the opportunity to experience hunting, forests, agriculture and food in a single museum for the very first time. From the moment you arrive at the museum, you will feel the history of the countryside we live in and live off and experience a world of domestic animals, fields, vegetable gardens, traditions, people, machinery and stories as the seasons change. Take a trip out into the blue with friends and family and enjoy a day full of adventure – both indoors and out – with lots to see, touch and smell. Holidays are full of activities – woodwork, feeding the animals and experiences for both children and adults.

In the hilly countryside of Djursland, Gammel Estrup Manor stands with its red walls and high towers. The history of the manor can be traced back to the 1300's, and for 600 years - until 1926 - it was owned by the same family. For generations the manor was the setting for the life of the family and its wealth - with beautiful art objects, a great number of employees, and presentable surroundings. All year round Gammel Estrup Manor offers activities and exhibitions on life at the Danish manors. The elegant halls, the big kitchen, the baroque garden with the Orangeries, and the surrounding cultivated landscape all give us an insight into the life of high and low througout the times. There is a play area in connection with the baroque garden of the museum. You may enjoy your packed lunch in one of the Orangeries or at the open air benches and tables. You are also welcome to picnic on the lawns or buy your launch at Restaurant The Old Stable. Dogs on a leash are welcome in the garden.
