Housed in a handsome half-timbered building dating from 1625, Sorø Museum showcases an eclectic booty of regional artefacts, including ancient pottery and the partial reconstruction of a 5,500-year-old Bornholm longhouse. A string of rooms are adorned with period furnishings, including the fetching living room of an aristocrat. There’s also a grocery shop from 1880, and the personal belongings of the 19th-century poet BS Ingemann, who taught at Sorø Akademi. Most of the information is in Danish only.
Located at Store Klint, the high-tech GeoCenter Møns Klint manages to make geology utterly engrossing. Imaginative displays (in Danish, German and English) explain how the cliffs were formed, show off an orderly fossil collection and bring other-worldly Cretaceous sea creatures to life. Kids absolutely love the inventive hands-on nature centre, and there are roaming experts to answer any questions. Ponder nature’s craftiness at the smart upstairs cafe, which serves coffee, cakes and open sandwiches.
Fastidiously detailed and highly atmospheric, this collectors' museum recreates 30 old shops and workshops, from a barber, butcher and bakery, to a cinema lobby adorned with vintage film magazines, candy and a 1967 Italian projector. The museum is also home to a small yet fascinating collection of historic motor vehicles, including Ford's final T-Model car (1927) and its first A-Model vehicle (1928). You'll find Thorsvang 800m southwest of the tourist office in Stege, just off Route 59.
