Open-Air Museums in Denmark – a Fieldtrip

Abstract

Every two years, Danish archaeological open-air museums meet up at a significant conference. They prefer the designation ‘historical workshops’, a concept which originated in the 1960s (see Bay 2004). The Danish Association of Historical Workshops (De Historiske Værksteder i Danmark, 2019) totals to over one hundred members. With their conferences, they ensure continuity (the first generation of museum staff is retiring) and maintain the thriving relationship between the workshops.
