Ringkøbing-Skjern Museum
The Ringkøbing-Skjern Museum was created in 2007 through the merger of the Ringkøbing Museum with the Skjern-Egvad Museum. The former is a regional museum with a section on Danish expeditions and an Icelandic collection. The latter is an open-air museum in the west of central Jutland in Denmark. The museum is spread over ten locations, with two by two museum parts being so close together. It is more like an ecomuseum than a classic open-air museum.
location
The individual locations are in Ringkøbing and around the southern part of Ringkøbing Fjord as far as Esbjerg in the south.

Attractions
Like most Scandinavian open-air museums, Ringkøbing-Skjern Museum is also lively in the summer - during the Danish school holidays: the mills operate several times a day, families live and work in the Iron Age village and the Viking village. A highlight is the Viking market at the beginning of August at the Viking Harbor in Bork.
