Leading exhibits include the 3000-year-old Sun Chariot and the remains of the Huldremose Woman believed to date back to the lst century AD. There are dedicated toy and coin exhibits too and a show apartment in what was once an 18th century royal palace. Free guided tours in English take place daily in summer.
