"Museumsgården" is an old four-winged, thatched, half-timbered farm which history dates back to the time when farms were moved from the villages out to the fields - about the year 1800.
The same family lived here for generations until the last owner Hans Hansen died in
1964.
Hans Hansen which was very much interested in history, left in his will the furniture's
which could be in some sort of interest to the national museum (Nationalmuseet). But the
national museum did however preserve the farm in its entirety, so the following
generations could see, what life was like in the 19th century amongst the peasants of
Møn.
The museum has been open
to the public since 1968 and so has its beautiful garden. The museum has opened
from May to October, the garden is always open for a visit.
During the summer marked-days will be arranged at the farm, with lots of activities and things to buy, you can see traditional ways of making butter, mustard, baskets, blacksmiths will be at work etc.
Until the end of the season (31/10-2002) you will be able to see a special
exhibition in the farm "Children on Møn", with pictures of children
taken on Møn the last 100 years. If you are interested you can also buy a
book at the museum-shop in Stege with pictures of children from Storstrøms
County during the last 100 years: "Barndomsglimt i Storstrøms Amt"
(98 kr).
The book is released by the Local historic archieves in Storstrøms Amt, LASA
(www.lasa.dk, external link -
