The first highlight of our trip was the Moesgaard Museum located on the far south suburbs of Aarhus. It is the museum of the sea, the vikings and so on. Very interactive and entertaining both for children and adults, it told stories from the stone age, bronze age and viking age.

For us the building was much more of an attraction then the museum itself. Typical for archies. Designed by Henning Larsen Architects and built in 2013. However it reminded us all of brutalists' spirits of 1970s, and we were ready to bet it was established somewhere around that period.
The building has an enormous sloped green roof on which we walked/jumped/sat on for half an hour or so. It was said that there is an impressive view opening on the Aarhus bay from the top, however as you can see on the photos, weather conditions were against us in this matter. Inside we admired the main hall, the concrete-and-steel staircases and had our picnic on the terrace of the museum.




















The next stop of our trip was the seaside. We weren't planning on spending so much time there, it just sort of happened. There was something calming about the foggy and gloomy beach, where the horizon and both sides of the shore have vanished in the fog







 





Then we went to a Deer Park, what an amazing place. An enclosed area with a population of 60-70 deers, where you can walk between them and feed them and even pet them, if you are quick and lucky! I have never had a chance of approaching a deer that close and I got a few very good shots with that opportunity.

The park itself was lovely too, full of hills with majestic forests growing over them. It was definitly worth the visit, and completely free of charge!
