About this tour
This session walks Møntergården, Odense's city history museum spread across several historic townhouses. You see the courtyards and a period-furnished room. Thorbjørn explains how the museum's buildings were joined together over time.
The walk covers two points inside the museum grounds at a steady pace. Thorbjørn answers questions about the buildings and the period rooms.
This suits anyone interested in local history and old townhouse architecture. It pairs well with his cathedral session nearby.

The camera moves through the museum's courtyards, and I explain how several historic townhouses were joined to form the current history museum.

Time to ask anything about Odense: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Frikadeller (meatballs) and Vintapperstræde, worth a slower look.
