At one point in the 1950s, more people came to this museum than the National Museum in Copenhagen. It's dedicated to one man who was the best ship-in-a-bottle builder ever, and it reunites the lost "American Collection" with a large collection that never left Aero Island. The new collection is laid out very nicely and across the courtyard is the older collection. This is folk art at its finest, and the story of Peter himself is amazing (he was quite the character -- his friends were panicked at what he'd say when the king came to visit... You'll have to visit to see what he did). There's also a little medical museum attached which is creepy and interesting. Ships in a bottle may no longer be the draw they once were, but if you've made it to Aero, you owe it to yourself to check this out!See more..
Such a beautiful old mill. You can go pretty much all the way up to the top of the mill and see all the rooms and see what used to be in those rooms since they have preserved a lot of the old things from it but at the same time they have put up info about it and other mills around that can be quite interesting to read about. I definitely think it's worth a visit. It costs 20kr per person to go up and look around, I don't think that's bad for what you get to see. At the bottom there is a little cafe in a way where you can get some coffee and cake. They are also selling a lot of homemade figures and knitted things that can be quite cute. Very quaint place.See more..

Svanemollen (Swan Mill) was built in 1853 and belonged to the merchant I.A. Larsen. It was taken over by his son, Johannes Larsen, who cared for it until his death in 1961. At the turn of the century, the miller and his family lived in the small, half-timbered house next to the mill, until Johannes Larsen built a more fitting home for them.See more..
Absurd and mundane at the same time. The work put into this is impressive, and the level of detail amazing. Well worth the cheap tickets. And there was a guy there who was happy to answer questions about the process. Some places make you feel like you have entered a parallel dimension. This is one of those places.See more..
Peaceful, harmony, beautiful. Houses and doors are unique and cute :) A good idea to spend 1 day or 2 there with family and friends. Keep your pace slow and relax to enjoy the environment. In summer ,there are sunshine , blue skies , fresh air and the breeze which you cannot resist. Must come again if I will travel to Denmark next time. And it is easy to reach from Svendborg by ferry every day.See more..
3.5Tobaksladen(12 reviews) - Danish tobac in 2. WW Speciality Museums
During the 2. WW danies had to grow their own tobacco. This little barn shows in pictures a storie about growing tobac in Denmark. It is a very little place with parking and a forrest. See more..
The museum is a working museum, where a number of voluntary people meet some mornings a week to weave, work in the sowing room, repair and maintain the looms, start up new activities etc. Everything to make it possible to show a living and attractive museum to the public, but also to contribute to the history of this old handicraft, which was later industrialised, so that it can be preserved for the future. During the opening hours the looms are not running because the old looms are very noisy, but all visitors are offered a guided tour where a jacquard power-loom is demonstrated. The museum was established in the years 1993-1995 after Kurt Reindel, the owner of the closed Tommerup Weaving Mill, had donated the power-looms of the mill and their accessories. Most of the looms are from the 1930s when his father Edmund Reindel started the weaving mill. Exhibitions, cafe and shop have been established in the former cow house of Krengerup which used to hold 100 dairy cows. This building was constructed about 1860. The working museum, the Weaving Hall, has been established in a new cow house that used to hold heifers. The restoration and furnishing of the old cow-houses of Krengerup was made possible through a number of funds and donations. May: Weekends and public holidays from 13 to 17 June July August: Every day except Monday 13 to 17, Monday closed September: Weekends and public holidays from 13 to 17 Week 42: All days from 13 to 17 From October 1st to April 30th the museum is closed except for groups with appointmentsSee more..
4.0Danmarks Museum for Lystsejlads(11 reviews) - Yacht museum by the sea and the sea view. Amazing and Unique. Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Speciality Museums
Beautiful Sea-sailing museum located at the pier in Svendborg. Interesting to know more about the previous owners of those yacht inside the museum. I really enjoyed watching those beautiful old shiny yacht and it was very interesting. There are many collections of yacht that belongs to prominent people in the past both from Denmark and and from other countries. Worth a visit and its free entrance but donation is optional. The museum has 130 vessels - everything from small dinghies and classic kayaks to historic boats such as. The starboat Leise, which sailed with the Olympic flame or Denmark's smallest pointed gates "Bette Ole" at just 4 meters.See more..
4.5Ernst's Samlinger(10 reviews) - Meget interessant musseum Speciality Museums

4.5Souvenirmuseum Souvenariet(9 reviews) - Bringing back memories of what family members used to bring home when I was a child. Speciality Museums
My husband and I really enjoy visiting unusual museums and this was definitely unusual. It is not a big museum, but there are a lot of items to look at and also tables outside where you can enjoy an ice cream and a drink bought in the gift shop. The displays were separated into the countries/regions of origin and that made it less confusing than it potentially could have been. All in all, a fascinating place and if you are there to see the castle then go down to the yellow building near the road and have a look at the collection.See more..
4.5Strib Automobilmuseum(9 reviews) - Flot museum for bilentusiaster og lidt for børn og konen også Speciality Museums
Så fint lille museum, som vi opdagede ved en tilfældighed. Det er kun åben om torsdagen fra 14 til 17. Det koster 60kr for voksne, børn er gratis. Værten ved meget og fortæller gerne små anekdoter om de enkelte biler. Åbnede også døre på biler vi gerne ville se lidt nærmere på. I kælderen er urestaurerede biler og på 1 sal motorcykler. Flest amerikanske biler fra 1908 og frem til 1992. Min mand kunne snildt have brugt 2-3 timer, men andre mindre bilfans har nok overset det på en times tid. Kan klart anbefales hvis man er til flotte gamle biler.See more..
4.0Aero Museum(8 reviews) - Not much non-Danish interpretation Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM Speciality Museums
This is a small museum which endeavors to tell the story of the town, and like many small local museums, got much of its inventory from donations of "old things" from locals. Unfortunately, none of the small museums we visited in Denmark provide interpretation or information in any language other than Danish. This museum was no different. We were provided with a map of the building and descriptions in each room that said things like "Farm implements" but not much beyond that. It seems a large oversight for a museum in a tourist town, especially in a country where so many speak English. You can purchase just admission to this museum or they will sell you discounted admission to this one, and the ships in a bottle museum and one other as a bundle. Worth an hour of your time if you want to browse antique objects from the history of the town.See more..
The childhood home (not birthplace) of Carl Nielsen, as described in his memoirs "My Funen Childhood". Small, in a charming spot, impeccably restored and maintained and filled with treasures from Nielsen's youth. Small, friendly gift shop. Real sense of the composer's personality and roots - if you love Nielsen's music, it's unmissable.See more..
4.5Museum of Photographic Art(8 reviews) - Museum and more Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums

4.5Munkebo Miniby(6 reviews) - Virkelig en dejlig oplevelse Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Speciality Museums
Virkelig en god og hyggelig oplevelse at se Munkebo Miniby. Vi kom udenfor åbningstid, men var så heldige at én af de 'frivillige' som sad indenfor og var igang med 'at lægge tag' på et hus - opdagede at vi stod og kiggede ind gennem trådhegnet (mens vi ærgrede os over at der var lukket). Han kom ud og låste porten op for os, og fortalte os en masse om 'byen' - og vi fik lov til at gå rundt og se ALLE bygningerne, han ville arbejde videre indtil vi havde set det hele. Virkelig god service - og vi vil med glæde anbefale andre at lægge vejen forbi Munkebo Miniby (tjek hjemmesiden mht åbningstider - det er ikke sikkert andre er ligeså heldige som os, at blive lukket ind udenfor åbningstid).See more..
The idea for the Skoda Museum Denmark was born Aug. 8, 1998 , were 3 Skoda enthusiasts met up to plan a Skoda museum in Denmark The talk went and quietly the project took form. The following year the first museum in Denmark on Noerregade 33 Glamsbjerg was opened.

In August 1999, it was agreed that the museum had to move up to the 2000 season, but the hurricane in December 1999 came across, and the project was put on hold .

4.0Trente Molle(5 reviews) - Kiss the Frog at Trente Mølle Speciality Museums
Kiss the Frog is an unmanned resource centre with all sorts of fun things to do in the nearby woods and lakes. Great for our two girls and a dad who had forgotten how to fish! We did have to ask how to find it: the signs aren't clear, once you reach the buildings themselves, which are shared with the Trente Mølle activity centre. The windmill and stream nearby also make this a truly great place just for a picnic. Or a campfire...See more..

4.0Tasinge Museum(5 reviews) - Really “hyggeligt” small museum with 5 different buildings Speciality Museums
Near The very, very charming old village with half-timbered houses is this small museum. It was started in 1958, by a local man, who donated a sailors Home and a old schoolhouse as a museum. There are 5 buildings, a lovely oldfaschioned Garden, and a Church on The other side. In one of the buildings also is told the sad lovestory of Siksten Spare og Elvira Madigan, who died because of their love. We were served coffee in the Garden. 20 kr. Cheap, and very, very “hyggeligt”!!! I Will come again! See more..
3.5Hindsholm Egnsmuseum(4 reviews) - Dode vogels en veel gereedschap Speciality Museums
Verzameling opgezette vogels en oud gereedschap in veelvoud. Half uurtje vertier voor weinig geld. Het omrijden niet waard.See more..
The potato museum is a delightful gem, put together by enthusiasts who want to tell the stories of how the potato was farmed in South America, how it came to Denmark, the different varieties of potato, all the things they can be used for, how they have been planted, harvested and sorted through time, and much else. All in a tiny space of just 100m2, but put together with such love and obvious passion that it just works. And the park within which it sits is beautiful too. If you're in the area, give it half an hour The main downside is that much of the text is available in Danish only - the main thing in English is the story of how the museum got funded, which just isn't that interesting.See more..
5.0Gammel Elmegaard(4 reviews) - Nice Cafe with beautiful garden Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • History Museums

3.0Willemoesgaarden & Vestfyns Kunstmuseum(2 reviews) - Lokal museum Speciality Museums At kalde det Willemoesgården og Vestfyns Kunstmuseum er ikke korrekt. Der er ingen kunstmuseum i bygningen. Det ligger længere oppe af gaden under navnet Ernsts samlinger. Men Willemoesgården havde en interessant udstilling om genforeningen og Assens rolle som tæt nabo til Slesvig. Derudover blev byens store helt Peter Willemoes hædret med en udstilling om hans liv.See more..
