The Diocesan Museum in Maribo

The Diocesan Museum in Maribo
contains excellent finds from the Stone Age, which include dolmens and passage graves and a superb collection of flint axes.

The Bronze Age is particularly represented by the many artefacts retrieved from cache and bog finds, while the Iron Age is illustrated primarily by grave and settlement finds.

An especially exciting part of the archaeological collection comprises of finds from the Viking Age and the early Middle Ages. It was during these periods that contact with those people living to the south, on the other side of the Baltic Sea, was so intense.

The museum also contains a large collection of folk art from the region, which was produced for the rural population in the period c. 1780 to 1840 and includes embroidery and carved and painted peasant furniture.

The Czar's House in Nykøbing Falster

The Czar's House in Nykøbing Falster 
houses a culture historical and archaeological museum whose field of expertise stretches from prehistoric up to modern times. The museum gives its visitors an excellent insight into Falster's history over many centuries. The exhibitions show peasant and market town culture from the Middle Ages up to the current century, which include unique collections and workshop interiors used for the old handcrafts in the market towns on Falster.

You can find a new installation of a middle-class bedroom from the beginning of the century. The bedroom appears complete with a washstand, a bag for dirty clothes, a cradle and many other original period pieces that were collected on Falster. There is also an exhibition that recreates an old market town street environment from the 19th century including a goldsmith's shop and the workshop belonging to it.
 
In the museum’s stores, you will also find extensive collections, which for example portray work and music life in bygone days, both in the countryside and in the town: Antiques, toys, textiles, Christmas decorations, hand tools and implements are among many pieces for which there is no room in the existing exhibitions.
