Frilandsmuseet - Open Air Museum

Towards the beginning of August, we went to the Frilandsmuseet in Lyngby.  I think the longest train ride we've taken since we've lived here.  The museum, built in 1897 is one of the oldest and largest open air museums in the world.  They are pretty common here in Europe.  I know of several others in Denmark alone.  It was pretty neat.  There are over 100 buildings that date from 1650 to 1950 that have been moved from their original spots to the museum.  They've been then "fixed" up so that they are safe to go into.  It was pretty neat to see all of these old buildings and imagine what people use to live in.  The kids even got to take a ride on an old Merry Go Round.  We had a really nice day exploring and I'm sure we'll go back again.  








My favorite, the Water Mill.
