The National Museum is many museums in one. It is Denmark's largest museum of cultural history and includes the Open Air Museum, the Museum of Danish Resistance, Royal Jelling and 9 other museums. Our objects and photographs come from all over the world, and cover many periods. So at the National Museum you can find everything from the famous Golden Horns and the Egtved Girl to African masks and Egyptian mummies. http://natmus.dk/

    Very strange tent shape, I've never seen anything like that before! They were probably very effective in high wind?
  • National Museum of Denmark said:
    Swordscookie: Our senior researcher Martin Appelt says "This type of tent was standard in East Greenland, at least from the early 19th century AD. I am not sure about the wind stability, but I would imagine that it would have been quite suitable for handling some of the strongest winds in the World, which has always part of life especially in this part of Greenland. There are at least two benefits to this particular construction, i.e. that it demands a minimum of wood for the frame (two poles and a cross piece), and it is very easily erected." :-)
