Trapholt – museum of modern art, craft and design

Trapholt presents a steady succession of exhibitions on art, design and crafts and also boasts its own collections, including a large collection of Danish furniture design.

Inaugurated in 1988, the museum is located in a scenic area overlooking the Kolding Fjord. It is set within a large sculpture park featuring works by contemporary Danish artists.

The museum’s architecture is an attraction in itself. Arranged around a central museum street, the exhibition rooms offer many fascinating spaces to explore. Outside, a powerfully sculptural wall separates the museum from the park

Part of the National Museum of Denmark, Kongernes Jelling tells the history of the viking Kings. Jelling is also the home of the famous Jelling Monuments where erected by king Harold Bluetooth, when the Danes became christian. 

The Museum is an exciting and interactive exhibition for all age groups.

More than a thousand years ago, the monuments in Jelling were created in order to show posterity:

• Here, the country was gathered into a kingdom
• Here, the name “Denmark” makes its appearance for the first time
• Here, Christianity became the official religion of Denmark
• Here, the king – the progenitor of the current Danish house of royalty – was presented
• Here, stands the symbol of the founding of the Danish nation
• Here, the change from a Nordic pagan society to an European civilisationis marked out

The Danish nation was born and created in Jelling and in 1994 the Jelling Monuments were put on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

There is no similar monument to be found anywhere else in the World.
