Camping Outdoor Museum

Egeskov and the Danish Camping Union (DCU) has opened the first Camping Outdoor Museum in Europe.

We are preparing for a new exhibition. In week 3 and 4 the museum is partially open as we make room for exciting news in the exhibition.

Are you looking forward to having a holiday, getting outdoors and enjoying life? Are you dreaming of wonderful days in the countryside with family and friends?

Take a close-up look at everything to do with camping and outdoor living

DCU’s new Camping Outdoor Museum which opened 1 May 2021, gives you the chance to enjoy a close-up look at everything that makes up Danish camping and outdoor life – and has done for decades. From the early days of camping in small, draughty cotton tents, through retro-idyll in caravans in the 1960s, to ultra-modern glamping and the history of outdoor life for adventurous souls today.

COME ALONG ON A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME

Take a trip back through time and experience how Danes have gone on holiday over the years – and find out how we will do so in the future. The new museum is sure to call up some holiday memories, provide inspiration for your next walking or cycling holiday, and present some insights into new trends in outdoor living.

FIND YOUR QUIET SPACE

Now more than ever, we all need a quiet space away from the hustle and bustle of modern life; a place where we can enjoy the moment, soak up the calm and enjoy the natural nearness that arises when we are together outdoors. This is where we “recharge our batteries”, filling up with new energy to return to the rigours of everyday life.
