Moesgaard Museum
An archaeology and ethnography museum with sloping grass roofs. It displays the Grauballe Man, a bog body from more than 2,000 years ago that is remarkably well preserved.
Moesgaard Museum sits between forest and bay about 10 km south of the city center. The new building, designed by Henning Larsen, opened in 2014. Its sloping grassy roofs can be walked on for views over Aarhus Bay. The immersive exhibits tell the story of Denmark from the Stone Age to the Viking Age. The highlight is the Iron Age bog body known as the Grauballe Man. Admission is about 190 kroner, and bus 18 takes about 25 minutes.
