Moesgaard Archaeological museum housed in former outbuilding of a manor. Home of Dept. of Archaeology & V. of Aarhus. Very open building - typically a good organization. Some contemporary archaeol - Afghanstan & Eskimos. Reconstructed house, photomural of setting. The rest is a period typified racing, Denmark's prehistoric Culture.
