Ribe Kunstmuseum

Ribe Art Museum was establishedin 1891 in one of the town’s most impressive buildings, the cotton fabric manufacturer Balthazar Giørtz’s luxury villa, built in 1864. It is one of the oldest art museums in Denmark. And with a fascinating collection of Danish art from 1750 to 1950, it flourishes with masterpieces from the great groundbreaking periods of Danish art history. Ribe Art Museum reopened in 2010 after a thorough restoration of theinterior and exterior. Today it distinguishes itself as a modern museum – a unique space where art, architecture and landscape combine in a beautiful, atmospheric environment.

This is a gem for anyone with art interests. It has recently been refurbished and the displays and facilities are very 21st century. The art is mostly Danish for the collection but they have regular visiting exhibitions. The coffee shop is brilliant and there are outside tables and chairs with a great view down to the river.

Ribe Vikinge Center

Reviewed By Merlinloiv - Tartu, Estonia

The visit to Ribe Viking Center was very exciting. I was able to put my hand on various attractions and try archery, woodwork, knitting with needle. The vikings who were in the houses were happy to answer the questions and I gained a lot of new knowledge. The Center also has a farm with many animals: cows, sheep’s, pig with piglets and some friendly cats. In the middle of the day there was an exciting bird show and in addition you could see a cool performance where viking played with fire and did some juggling.

One of the most influential journalists and social reformers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jacob A. Riis documented and helped to improve the living conditions of millions of poor immigrants in New York. Now, Museum of Southwest Jutland is creating an exciting new museum in Mr. Riis’ hometown in Denmark – inside the very building in which he grew up – which will both celebrate the li

This is a museum which puts things in perspective, forcibly reminding the visitor where we have come from in just 120 years or so. If you are an American, or even better a New Yorker, this place is a must with its photos of the lives of the poor and destitute. Its social message is more than relevant in our times too!

Museet Ribes Vikinger

The Museum Ribe's Vikings is beautifully situated in central Ribe overlooking the river Ribe A. Experience the Viking era and the Middle Ages. Thousands of artefacts found during archaeological excavations in the area tell the interesting history of Ribe from the year 700 to the year 1700. Step aboard a reconstructed Viking ship like a true Viking setting out to explore the world. Then, after just a few steps, you can stand on a street corner of Ribe in the year 1500. Watch a film about Ribe's Vikings, excavate in the archaeological sandpit, explore the large museum shop or visit the activity room "Dagmar and Valdemar", where you can dress up in costumes, joust like a medieval knight or step into a medieval home. Children under 18 years free admission.

Museum is small but really interesting and covers viking and medieval time periods. All kind of handcrafts represented and also story how people lived in that time. They also show movie about archeological work mixed with historical reenactment. In second floor there is also denmark flag exhibition but sadly it was only in dansk.
