CharcoalBurner89 visited on 23rd Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Wonderful museum that houses Denmark's most famous bog body: Tollund Man. Absolute visit recommendation! There is also a small prehistoric exhibition that has nothing to do with the bog body.

Museum Silkeborg
Museum Silkeborg submitted by CharcoalBurner89 : Reconstruction of 'Tollund-Man' September 23, 2022 (Vote or comment on this photo)
One of Denmark's top cultural history museums, located at three different sites: Manor House (Hovedgården), the Paper Mill Museum (Papirmuseet) in Silkeborg and Blicheregnen farm in the village of Thorning. Exhibitions cover the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age and the Viking Age. One of the best preserved bog bodies is on display: a Pre-Roman Iron Age man, world famous under the name 'Tollund Man'. Photos of him are on our page.

The Rittmeister Hans Nicolai Hoff built Silkeborg Hovedgård between 1767 and 1770 after he had acquired Silkeborg Castle, whose buildings had fallen into despair. In 1846 the premises were briefly used as a chapel (for workers at the nearby paper mill). It was even used as a post office afterwards. The museum was founded in 1904. After falling back into private hands, the museum became state owned again in 1939.

All information was taken from the English language website of Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silkeborg_Museum

Further information about the museum can be found on the official website of the museum itself (also entry times, etc.): www.museumsilkeborg.dk

An introduction to the topic 'Tollund Man' can be found, as is so often the case, on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollund_Man

Museum Silkeborg
Museum Silkeborg submitted by CharcoalBurner89 : The face/head was particularly preserved because at the time it was found (1950) there were not yet many possibilities for complete conservation. So it was decided to prepare and preserve the particularly well-preserved head. September 23, 2022 (Vote or comment on this photo)
