Wer mal nach Dänemark fährt, sollte unbedingt mal das #DenGamleBy in #Aarhus besuchen. Dort kann man eine Zeitreise machen: Ins 18. und 19. Jahrhundert, die 1920er und die 1970er.
Es gibt jeweils komplette im Viertel im Stil der Zeit, dort fahren Kutschen, laufen Menschen mit Gänsen herum und natürlich gibt es auch tolle Geschäfte im Stil der jeweiligen Zeit.

Aber mein ganz persönliches Highlight waren die Telefone im 70er-Jahre Teil.
Warum? Weil man mit denen tatsächlich telefonieren kann! Das ist ein riesengroßer Spaß, wenn man den Mut hat es zu versuchen! Neben den Telefonen liegen Zettel mit den Telefonnummern der anderen Anschlüsse und dann kann man lustig herumtelefonieren und hoffen das in den anderen Häusern, zum Beispiel der Frauenarztpraxis, der Wohnung einer Familie, der Studenten-WG etc. jemand sich traut den Hörer abzunehmen.

#DenGamleBy

Looking up at the cream and brown facade of a medieval timbered building in Den Gamle By, the Old Town open-air history museum in Aarhus. Above, glimpses of multi-paned windows reflecting blue sky. The ground floor, not visible here, is an old carpenter's workshop. The workshop sign between the two floors is a beautifully crafted and detailed miniature dark brown wooden coffin. It is jutting out from the stone wall, death hanging over our heads. On it, in white cursive text, the woodworker's name: Snedker T. Johnson. A sign from and of the old days, back when we weren't afraid to speak of death, to acknowledge its everyday existence, when we didn't hide it away.

@CiaraNi I loved the 70s street in #DenGamleBy

By the canal in Den Gamle By, the Old Town open-air museum in Aarhus. Upper right, jutting out above our heads, floating against a deep blue cloudless sky: a 1920s bike workshop sign shaped as a bicycle. The beautifully detailed metal bike has the name Skjold shaped into it. A pennant of the red-and-white Danish flag flies off the handlebars. It's as if the bike is taking off in the air. The sign is intuitive and functional and picturesque. On the canal bank opposite, also picturesque: medieval houses, their reflections clear in the still canal water. They are red-brown and rust-red and white, criss-crossed with timbers and small wooden-framed windows. Just in case the scene wasn’t picturesque enough, there’s a picturesque row boat upturned on the picturesque canal in front of the picturesque timbered houses.

Vertical image. Looking down a narrow cobbled street in Den Gamle By, the Old Town open-air museum in Aarhus. Picturesque half-timbered red and yellow buildings curve to our left. To our right, very close, a pale yellow wall with an iron sign jutting out. The sign is a top hat, rusty red with a silver metal band, comically over-sized seen from this angle. This was a Hatter’s Workshop. It stands out here against the background of a slice of light blue sky between the buildings. The street is empty, until you notice a woman in period costume, a working class woman from the 17th century in grey dress and apron, sitting on a bench beside an old wooden barrel. The perspective makes her look small and insignificant. The mood of the image, to me: we have time-travelled back several centuries and thre is a strange hush on what should be a bustling noisy smelly lively street. Where is everyone? It feels like something has happened. Or is about to happen. And it involves the woman, who, even though we can’t see her face, looks lonely and weary and abandoned by the world.

This looks like where the weekend lives. I think I'll knock and ask if Saturday and Sunday can come out to play.

In Den Gamle By, the Old Town open-air museum in Aarhus. Upright photo. Close-up of a section of wall of a centuries-old half-timbered house with a single small window in it. The brickwork is a nice calm terracotta, orange-reddish, colour. A line of stone at the foundation is a dark green colour. Some of the criss-crossing timbers are terracotta-coloured, others plum-coloured. The single window is small, narrow, rectangular, and pleasingly off-centre. It has six small panes that just reflect dark black. The wooden frame is, delightfully, a kind of turquoise or teal colour. The facade is dappled with sunlight. There's nothing dramatic about this photo. Objectively, it may be just twee and dull. I just subjectively find something pleasing about the sight. The dappled light is calming. The colours are unusual and complementary. It feels like there’s something nice, something interesting, something welcoming, behind this solitary window with its bright and unexpected colour in this pretty wall.

On a narrow medieval street in Den Gamle By, the Old Town open-air museum in Aarhus, looking up. On my left, the top slice of a picturesque half-timbered building in deep shadow. On my right, similar picturesque medieval half-timber buildings with multi-paned windows, seen in strong sunlight. Overhanging us, between the two sides of the street, standing out against the background of light blue sky, an original shop sign from the 1600s. It juts out on an iron pole with a few ornate curlicues. It is shaped like a book with a dark brown binding around the edges, a yellow background, and in a white rectangle in the middle, where the book title would be, the name of the workshop: ’A. Henriksen. Bogbinder.’ ‘A. Henriksen. Bookbinder.’ A simple, lovely, effective sign. Excellent user design, excellent communication, and it makes you smile.

I was standing in front of this window. Trying to decide which sweet to choose. Suddenly I decided to check if someone was here before and postet from #dengamleby on pixelfed. And your photo was rhe first one to show up. 😀

@CiaraNi posted about "smag" the danish word for taste and I show you ...

A window of a fantastic bakery in the old museum town. The timber framed house is very light yellow.
The window is a prominent bowed glass divided into 28 smaller single panes in brown wooden frames with a small metal, half rounded roof.
Behind the windows the minimum 20 absolutely most delicious cakes and sweets are presented on plates and cake stands, e.g. honey cakes, meringues, wiener brød etc. and I know all of them taste heavenly!

In the pitch-black interior of a low house on Den Gamle By Old Town museum, looking out through an old doorway with no door. The opening's frame is thick, recessed, deep rust-red, with an ornate curve in the wood at the upper midpoint, It is centred between big blocks of walled blackness on either side. It creates a frame through which we see daylight, the outside world, a rust-red railing and ramp outside. Across a cobbled courtyard, a striking, ornate three-storey historic timbered building. It is in shades of light orange and white and cream and has multiple ornate windows. But for all its picturesque fanciness, the interesting window in this scene is tucked away in the upper left corner of the dark black wall of the building we are in. A plain little spyhole window, high up. Two panes, barely centimetres high. It makes a startling gap in the thick darkness inside because we see bright blue sky light outside. To me, its solitary plain out-of-the-way unexpectedness is more eye-catching than all the fancily-designed windows outside.

I spent a wonderful time with a very lovely person (thank you very much) in #Aarhus today and took this photo in #DenGamleBy
I forget to mention that it is the private residence (it's not just a simple house) of a mintmaster from Kopenhagen 17th century!

A 2 storey house with a front consisting of nothing but windows with white frames.
The 2nd store has a closed balcony of the same make and within the 3rd store there are two big gables also with white framed windows. The rest of the 3rd store is a red brick roof. The sky is azure a few white clouds. In front of the there are a few rows of white wooden garden chairs.

I should really give fair warning in my bio that I have an annual pass to Den Gamle By Old Town museum, so I often wander through it, and I never don’t take photos, and I almost never don’t post them.

So if yet another picture of yet another medieval timber-framed building bores you, then I’d avoid me if I were you.
