Open Air Museum Denmark

The open air museum contains homes, buildings and farms from all over Denmark. The buildings range from the 16th century right up to the 20th. This is the inside of a farmhouse with a large farmhouse table to seat the family and farm help. They use a lot of red and green. AAHHHHH CHRISTMAS COLORS!
Farm building.....what did I say about the RED and GREEN.....? Lots of lovely thatched roofs. It is similar to what we saw at the St. Fagan's museum in Wales. These museums all have free entrance to the public.
Darling little beds in the walls with doors to close for privacy. These were actually more like pocket doors......look at that.....more RED and GREEN!
Here is a bedroom with little shutter doors to close up the beds. I had to pose by the little cradle.
This is a farm building with storage below and sleeping quarters above for farm workers to sleep as a cooler spot in the hot summer time. Notice the grass and plants growing on the roof.
