Frilandsmuseet at Lyngby, has more than 50 farms, mills and houses from the period 1650-1940 that have been brought from most regions in Denmark and the Faeroe Islands, as well as the former Danish provinces of southern Sweden and northern Germany.

It is north of Copenhagen city centre – nearest stations are Sorgenfri and Brede.  Free admission. There is lots to see, and Brede Works is next door – also worth a visit (and free).
