The Fairy Tale Room

In the exhibition building The Wing, you will find the Fairy Tale Room. Here, changing children’s activities are presented in connection with the special exhibitions.

The Garden

Right by the Great Belt lies the Larsen family’s beautiful garden and private paradise — their source of inspiration and artistic universe.

Fritz Syberg’s studio

In Syberg’s Garden, you can see Fritz Syberg’s old studio, which originally belonged to his home, Pilegården, before the farm burned down. A few trees from Pilegården’s garden have also been preserved.

Place: Sybergs Have 11, 5300 Kerteminde.
(The studio can only be viewed from the outside).

The Swan Mill

The Swan Mill is a beloved artistic motif and an icon of Alhed and Johannes Larsen’s artist home on Møllebakken. Today, the Swan Mill is part of the Johannes Larsen Museum and serves as a beautiful landmark for both the museum and the town of Kerteminde.

Rylen

At the harbour in Kerteminde, you can see the famous ship Rylen, which Johannes Larsen sailed on expeditions to the Danish islands in the 1920s. During the summer season, the ship may be away on new voyages.
