Imagine stepping back in time. You are right in front of the Naturhistorisk Museum in Aarhus. It is a place where prehistory comes alive. The Natural History Museum, as it is called in English, has been a treasure trove for centuries. The museum has been around since 1921, though a smaller natural history museum was established in 1838. The current building is located on the campus of Aarhus University. It is the second-largest Natural History Museum in Denmark. You’ll find over 5,000 animals on display, including impressive dinosaur skeletons. There are four permanent exhibitions that cover a variety of topics, from the Big Bang to the development of sexual reproduction! The museum also houses a research facility at the Molslaboratoriet in the Mols Bjerge National Park. In this park, you can marvel at wild horses and cattle, a rewilding project of the museum. There are hiking trails to explore and special nature trips led by expert guides. If you ever find yourself in Aarhus, be sure to pay a visit to the Natural History Museum.
