About Moesgaard Museum
The long-established Moesgård Museum, a regional and specialist museum of archaeology and ethnography, has been operating from the nearby Moesgård manor house for over 40 years. The exhibitions in the new museum building will contain a series of unique finds from Danish prehistory. Among these are two Iron Age finds: the c. 2,300-year-old Grauballe Man, the world’s best preserved bog body; and, a number of exceptional weapon sacrifices from Illerup Ådal. The latter constitutes a segment of the museum’s collection which reflects sacrifice traditions, long distance contracts and power struggles that took place 1,800 years ago.
