The Old Town (Den Gammble By) opened in 1914 as a first the world’s open –air museum. This heritage park is organised into a small village, that include about 75 historical buildings (mostly from 1800s), exhibitions and shops from all over Denmark. ”The museum is a living and breathing experience of what it was like to live and work in the old days”- little book-guide of Arhus says. That is true. Very easy you can meet people of yesteryears who willingly help you how to try out life as it was in their houses or gardens. I think it’s very interesting place for young people who are learning of history but also for adult people who want to experience history and atmosphere from times past.

The Danish National Church
Below you can find the list of questions regarding the Church in Denmark prepared by intrigued foreign students some time ago!
1. What do you think are the reasons why church attendance is so low in Denmark and people are not *very religious* ?. Was it different back in the days?
((According to a 2005 study by Zuckerman[1], Denmark has the third-highest proportion of atheists and agnostics in the world, estimated to be between 43% and 80%, as many do not practice their faith - Wikipedia)).
2. Why the Church is not attractive for young people
3. Do you generally believe but only avoiding going to the Church? (now we know you call it *personal relationship with God*:)
4. What is specific about The Danish National Church
Thank You
