There is something special about museums where you do not have to stand still and be quiet. Where children are allowed to ask questions, press buttons and explore at their own pace.

In South Zealand and Møn, you will find museums that make it easy to be curious together. Here, history comes alive, nature feels closer, and learning quietly finds its way in through play and experiences.

Some places invite you to try things yourself and use your body. Others offer space to immerse yourself and let your imagination take over.

Here we have gathered museums where the whole family can join in – and where you might leave a little wiser, without quite noticing it along the way.
