The world
as you know it?
A visit to Hans Christian Andersen’s House is a surprising and fascinating journey into the author’s creative universe – and his world-famous fairy tales. Beauty merges with imagination at the museum, where world-class architecture and spaces bring nature indoors, and provoke us to turn things on their head and speculate about today and tomorrow.
Via sound, light, space and scenery designed in collaboration with 12 international artists, in this innovative exhibition, we experience Andersen and his works speak to us. Our imagination is our only compass. We each create our own adventure!
Once upon a time…
Into the fairy-tale universe
As a visitor, your will experience a fairy-tale universe that is physically deep underground and encapsulated deep in your mind.
From the moment you step into the building, the exhibition whisks you farther away from the familiar and ever deeper into Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales, where everything we believe we recognise shows us new sides of itself. On this journey, you will find that the architecture weaves with its magical gardens – to create an unique experience, borne on the wings of unprecedented creative genius and humour.
Every aspect of Hans Christian Andersen’s House has a story to tell – and you are part of that story.
A magical experience that awakens every one of your senses – where you never quite know what to expect.
