This revamped city showcase is a model of good museum design (something the Danes excel at). In 'Funen – Centre of the Universe', you walk through a chronological display of world events and see how Funen experienced them – including the effects of the Industrial Revolution on villages, and how locals experienced WWII occupation and the Cold War. Plus there are Viking-era finds, and information on how Funen came to be known as 'Denmark's garden' (hint: apples play a key role).
Separate buildings include exhibits on Odense in the Middle Ages and Renaissance period, the inside of a restored 1646 townhouse; and a 17th-century almshouse.
