Description
The Danish Agricultural Museum is the Danish state and national museum for agriculture, rural culture and the industries associated with agriculture. It is the only state museum in Denmark outside the Copenhagen area. The museum is located in the former farm buildings of the Gammel Estrup estate. The manor house itself is a separate museum called the Jutland Manor House Museum, but the farm buildings and land constitute the Danish Agricultural Museum.
The Centre for Living Cultural Heritage is a thoroughly modern farm complex that houses the museum´s collections of old livestock breeds. The centre is surrounded by historical fields and has a vegetable garden for use by the schools service, as well as pens for the museum´s animals. In the summer, tables and benches are placed on the lawn so that visitors can enjoy their packed lunches while looking out over the fields and watching the animals. There is also a special area for visitors who wish to prepare their food on an open fire.
The Danish Agricultural Museum has 66 hectares of land, which is cultivated as a normal farm. You can see cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, geese, ducks and rabbits on these fields – all old Danish breeds deemed worthy of preservation. The historical fields consist of ten separate fields, each measuring 0.55 hectares, and planted with old varieties of crops. The varieties of corn, beets, vetches, potatoes, etc. used here were acquired from the Nordic Gene Bank in Sweden. All farming at Gammel Estrup is conducted on organic principles.
