Denmark's leading archaeology and ethnography museum, a short bus ride south of central Aarhus. Its landmark building, designed by Henning Larsen Architects, rises as a sloped, turf-covered roof that visitors can walk up like a hillside. Inside, permanent exhibitions cover Danish prehistory and the Viking age — including the Grauballe Man, an Iron Age bog body — alongside rotating temporary exhibitions. The museum's grounds extend into Moesgaard Forest and down to the coast at Moesgård Strand.
