Ulvsborg Historisk Værksted (historic workshop) is an initiative of an association. After picking up a lot of experience at places like Düppel (DE), Ukranenland (DE), Gross Raden (DE), Lejre (DK) and Trelleborg (DK), at the end of the 1990s, the idea was taken up to construct a fortified farm like important farmers would have had in the period 1050-1250 AD, which in Denmark is referred to as Late Viking Age or Early Middle Ages. The many volunteers involved are essential for this archaeological open air museum and educative centre. Many of them help building or present live interpretation.
In Western Jylland, you will find the Ringkøbing-Skjern Museum. It is a culture historical museum, built up as an Ecomuseum with 14 departments divided around the Ringkøbing Fjord. It is a bit of culture and a bit of nature, which is not that strange when you know that the cultural environment is an accepted environment in ‘environment education’ in Denmark. The oldest departments of the museum date to 1908 with the nature-school and historical workshops from 1995 (Dejbjerg Jernalder) and 2000 (Bork Vikingehavn). The building of both sites are funded by the Arbejdsmarkedets Feriefond.
