I visited this museum with my husband, son and his family. Fortunately for me, my son and his family all speak fluent German because otherwise we wouldn't have a clue as to what we were seeing. As another reviewer pointed out - all the signs...More

Went here many years ago to see the famous Nydam boat and the creepy (for us as children) bog people. Still a fantastic destination to see those unique artifacts, but also a wonderfully expanded group of galleries now, with state of the art displays from...More

This is the offical musuem of the state of Schleswig-Holstein

1000 years of history of the area are presented in this museum. Most of the signage is in German or Denish, but some things are also explained in English. Don't forget to take a walk through the gardens
