While most of Odense's attractions are dedicated to the city's most famous son, Hans Christian Andersen, this museum explores the history of the city itself. The museum consists of several buildings, most of them quaint old half-timbered houses, as well as an atmospheric cobblestoned courtyard. There are permanent as well as changing exhibitions, all dedicated to Odense's and Funen's history and art scene.
The village of Ladby, 16 km (10 miles) east of Odense, is best known as the home of the 1,100-year-old remains of this ship, which belonged to a Viking chieftain and is now the centerpiece of the Viking Museum. The chieftain was buried here, along with the hunting dogs and horses he would need for Valhalla—the afterlife.
