TICKET SALES AND MUSEUM SHOP
In the exhibition building, you will also find the ticket sales and our museum shop, where you can buy homemade jam, juice, and fine woodcraft, some of which is made in the carpentry workshop by members of Karensminde’s Friends. We also have traditional toys—tractors and cars never go out of style. Stock up on holiday reading—we offer a selection of books for those interested in cultural history and other fascinating topics.
