Klosterlund Museum

Beautiful surroundings, large machines and archaeological finds – Klosterlund Museum has it all. Discover the museum's archaeological highlights. Or learn how over the years man has used both manual labor and machines to utilize the peat of the bogs.

From the Stone Age to the peat industry.

At Klosterlund Museum you can see exhibitions with peat work machines and original archaeological finds dating back to the Stone Age. Here is the story of how people have lived in the area for thousands of years, how they lived - and especially about how they have over the years utilized the peat of the bogs.

You can also experience the atmospheric exhibition 'Face to face', which shows the museum's most priceless archaeological treasures from several different time periods. Among other things, the Hammerum girl, which is a find that contains one of the best-preserved pieces of textiles from Denmark's past: an almost 2.000-year-old dress. In the exhibition, the many finds are spiced up with personal stories about ancient Midjudges, while contemporary Midjudges put a face to the stories.

For families with children, there is the opportunity for free play on the large nature playground with a view of Bølling Lake. You can also greet old farm breeds of horses, rabbits, geese, pigeons and chickens. In the summer, volunteers show how the hard work went when men dug peat with hand and machine power. When you have finished the exhibitions, you can go for a walk in the beautiful surroundings, enjoy your food under the treetops - or end the day with a visit to the small museum shop.
