Den Gamle By, located in Aarhus, Denmark, is an open-air museum that showcases Danish urban history across several centuries. Opened in 1914, it features over 75 historical buildings relocated from different parts of Denmark, meticulously reconstructed to create a realistic depiction of Danish life from the 16th century to the 1970s. Visitors can explore various period-specific houses, shops, and workshops, interact with costumed interpreters, and experience the evolution of Danish culture and daily life through immersive exhibits and activities.
