  This is the best museum for those who wants to know about what happened in the late era, wars, and all about cultures. They have even every details of equipments, stories, and swords. There are lots of ways to experience the time yourself through computers, projectors, chips, games, and any kind of media you can imagine. They even have real dead body which i found very interesting and extraordinary. Very good scenery, architecture, and design which you don't want to miss. One of the best museum ever!

  A fantastic experience to see the Bronze-, Iron- and Viking area exhibited in the most "live fashion".In a years time the Stone age exhibition will come live as well.Spend at least half a day - or even better a full day, with a lunch break in the splendid Museum Café, where excellent food is served at a very fair price.The architecture - as seen rom outside - is an experience on its own.The museum is more or less hidden in the nature as a long green hill surrounded by forest and with a great view to the nearby ocean (Bay of Aarhus).

  Moesgaard museum reopened autumn 2014 with a new building and state-of-the-art interactive exhibitions and stunning architecture. The museum focuses on Natural History with focus on ancient times - Bronze Age, Iron Age and Viking age. This section is below ground, down the huge stairs. Up the stairs they have a smaller Ethnographic exhibition with histories from the present.All exhibitions utilize modern technology to impress, imprint and inspire the visitors and the different interactive activities are both entertaining and educational. I guess it's edutaining in its purest form. This means that it's just as fun for kids as it is for adults.We enjoyed a lunch with lovely views to the forest (the croissant is good value for money) and enjoyed the walk on the roof with stunning views of the countryside.

  The museum which just opened some months ago in new buildings and surroundings is really worth seeing. Interesting exhibitions - modern building - very interesting multi-purpose roof, beautiful location. Go and see for yourself. :)

  I have been to the Moesgaard Museum many times since 1997, including the new (remodeled) museum. It it truly an exceptional venue, part of Aarhus University, and with one of the best "bog men" in the world - the Graubelle Man.Worth a handful of hours.

  The collections are great and you can spend a nice few hours here. The building in itself is a sight as well. The surrounding area is great for a walk after the museum visit.

  If ever in Aarhus, Denmark with an interest of the history of ancient northern Europe, Don't miss out on this! They even have a very good cafe (with a herring combo grade A).. The eerie body of the man from the bog and hundreds of swords, spear and other war paraphernalia. All probably sacrificed before the dark ages. Take bus no 18 and stay for a while.

  This is a complete triumph!! absolutely astoundingly well put together and accessible. Some issues with the service, which i hope are simply teething problems but i would get these fixed asap - especially int he cafe where the service was appalling (through terrible and illogical design, not the people) - the food however, was great.

  The outside is such an interesting design. When we arrived, the kids (7 & 5) couldn't wait to run up the hill/rooftop. I had heard from a friend that the exhibit about Denmark's bogs and all of the items that had been tossed in as sacrifice but has no idea how MUCH there was and had been recovered. The examples are spectacular and the manner in which they are displayed is creative. Its fascinating and informative.Do:Allow for time. You will not want to rush and some exhibits take time. Particularly if there are a lot of people.Take a break. We enjoyed lovely salads (they were huge too!) and the kids could have shared the spaghetti. It was an immense bowl of pasta. They also have a coffee/cake counter in the dining room if you just need a pick me up.TIPS:Allow for time to hike! There are lovely grounds around the museum! If you intend to hike you may also want to pack a picnic. Your ticket gets you in through out the day. We were not sure and put off having lunch longer than we should have. Exit to the cafe or to your car for a picnic and return to the exhibit entrance with you receipt to continue on. Many areas are fairly dark. There are a lot of stairs- exhibits wind you through and up and down levels. This keeps it interesting! There are elevators/lifts for those that need them.Starting in April there will be an additional exhibit of China's clay warriors! Enjoy!

  The new Moesgaard Museum is a sharp break from the old museum, and from other traditional museums, since it is a far cry from being dusty and boring. A huge effort is put into making the museum a innovative place centered around experiencing and sensing the history, not only looking at it. For instance, the floor around the box of the ancient body of the "Tollund-manden", found in a marshy area, is constructed so as you could imagine your self walking in a soft, marshy area up to the final resting place of the "Tollund-manden". Later in the exhibition you will find your self in the middle of two tribes meeting for battle, and as the battle commences, you can actually feel the ground tremble under your feet, as the two armies meet. It is an impressive sight and great experience to see the armies storm forward, shown on floor-to-ceiling projectors on both sides of you, you in the middle. Such is the level of innovativeness of the museum that you can easily spend at least half a day actually experiencing history. Do not forget the history-staircase, where you can see/meet our humanoid ancestors in their own environments. Fascinating!. The slightly mysterious and dark dramatic atmosphere, underlined by a ongoing low tone of music makes the visit almost spellbinding. On top of that, the museum architecture it self is worth a look, as you can walk on the grass-clad roof.
