FREE ACCESS AND EXPERIENCES TO ELRO DAY

Free admission and experiences at two unique museums for ELRO Day

On Saturday, September 6, you can experience both the Green Museum and Gammel Estrup Denmark's Manor House Museum completely free of charge when the ELRO Foundation invites you to this year's ELRO Day on Djursland.

At the Green Museum you can meet the museum's dedicated volunteers and experience how old crafts and traditions are kept alive. The day offers a number of tastings, prepared according to historical recipes, and you can see, among other things, how grain was threshed in the past with a threshing machine. All around the museum, guilds work with everything from blacksmithing and archery to the machines in the tractor workshop, and in the Polakhuset you can hear about the life and food of farm workers. The museum's historic fields and animal enclosures are open to guests, so you can get up close to the old Danish breeds of farm animals.

ELRO Day is also a good opportunity to experience Under the Sun – The Green Museum’s new signature exhibition, which opened for the summer holidays – where there will also be 3 free introductions by museum curator Anette Stavensø Møller on this day. The exhibition takes guests on a sensory and thought-provoking journey through the last 80 years of history with a focus on hunting, forestry, agriculture and food. It focuses on both the progress and challenges that have shaped our lives today – from climate change to changes in our relationship with nature.

Highlights of the day:

• Experience old crafts and taste historical dishes at the Green Museum
• 3 free introductions to the new exhibition Under the Sun
• The new big exhibition Under the Sunabout the last 80 years of pursuit of the good life
• Join free tours of Gammel Estrup's living rooms and halls.
• Meet volunteers and buy coffee and cake in the Manor Kitchen
• Experience the exhibition The invisible world of servants in the attic.

Free admission all day
Both Gammel Estrup and Det Grønne Museum are open from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, September 6, and admission is free all day for all guests.
