Old museum shop in Odense

When you step into Kramboden, you also step into Odense’s history. The shop is located in an atmospheric, historic merchant’s house dating back to the 1500s, where the interior resembles the original krambod, which for several hundred years was the face of the merchant’s house.

Like traveling back in time
Kramboden is much more than just an ordinary shop. Here you’ll find everyday items just like they were used in old times. On the shelves, you’ll see beautiful antiques, interesting vintage stock, and authentic museum replicas that make the shop a living story about Odense’s past.

That’s why Kramboden is not a traditional museum shop – it’s more an experience of what everyday life used to look like. Each product has its own unique story, and the staff are happy to tell you where the items come from and how they were used in earlier times.

Antiques and great finds
If you have a fondness for authentic antiques, Kramboden will feel like a little treasure chest. Here you can find everything from classic kitchen utensils, fine glassware and porcelain to older textiles and small furniture. All items telling stories about lives lived in Odense many years ago.

Kramboden also offers a collection of authentic museum replicas. That means you can take home something that feels old but is made to be used every day. Perfect for anyone who loves blending history and nostalgia into their modern home.

Worth a visit – every time
Kramboden is a perfect place to visit, whether you are interested in history or just want to experience a cozy shop. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the shop encourages you to take your time exploring the many exciting items.
