10,000 years at Archaeology Haderslev with new exhibition from dec 2024
The imposing archaeological museum in Haderslev contains some of the best-preserved archaeological finds ever dug up from Southern Jutland soil, including Denmark’s oldest grave, splendid weapon finds from Ejsbøl Bog and remnants of Hansborg Castle (mid-1500s).
The Open Air Museum features historical farms and other buildings from Southern Jutland, a rare post mill and ancient burial sites.
A visit to Haderslev’s archaeological museum takes you back in time, back 10,000 years to the Stone Age grave that is Denmark’s oldest. You can also marvel at opulent Early Bronze Age vessels made of gold, splendid Iron Age weapons, an intricate Viking harness bow – and much more.
Museum Sønderjylland’s archaeology department is responsible for all archaeological digs in this part of Denmark. We normally exhibit our most recent finds at the museum.
NEW EXHIBITION from 12 Dec 2024 - 12 Dec 2025:
The exhibition Detektor - Fantastic Amateur Finds puts the spotlight on the personal stories and experiences that motivate detectorists in their hunt for treasures of the past.
At Archaeology Haderslev you can meet five dedicated detectorists who share their reflections, adventures and passion for the hobby. Through their stories and selected finds, you'll get a unique insight into the detector work and the special moments that have both touched them and enriched our understanding of history.
You'll also have the opportunity to try your hand at the hobby yourself - choose the nine objects you would take on a detector tour and explore part of the exhibition with a detector in hand. You might even find a gold coin!
