Excellente, small but well curated museum and walk
Aug 2022
This small museum provides a well rounded approach to the significance of the Lejre archaeological remains and their historical context. It presents, in good modern displays making use of a mix of traditional and digital means, the finds of the different excavations on the burial mounds and how they explain the culture of the peoples at the start of the Viking Age.
Also from the museum one can go on an easy 30 minute walk around the neighbouring fields and enjoy seeing the remains of the burial grounds and other stone remains of the monuments presented in the museum.
The personnel of the museum at the reception desk is extremely helpful.

Menhirs - standing stones
Oct 2016 • Couples
Besides the fact I've known the origin of "bluetooth" since that, the place is full of ancient history and attractions in close neighbourhood - standing stones (Gammel Lejre Skibssætning). Nice walks.

Modern interactive museum - fantastic
Jul 2017 • Family
I love this small museum. It brings Lejre's important history to life and is a joy to visit with children. We go often and learn more every time. Check out there schedule of lectures and events, usually lots of educational fun there during school vacations.
