Coastal Museum Skagen

The Coastal Museum in Skagen is a combined open-air and exhibition museum with rebuilt houses from three periods in Skagen's history: The Black Period (until about 1875), the Yellow Period (about 1875-1907) and the Red Period (after 1907). Here you can see how the rich and poor fisherman lived under vastly different conditions. In the museum's main building there are various special exhibitions about fishing, rescue and shipping. The exhibitions provide a good introduction to Skagen's exciting history and to the often dramatic life on the coast. All year round, the Coastal Museum offers various guided tours, exciting lectures, concerts and fun activities for children, especially during the school holidays. Welcome to an exciting time travel in the history of Skagen.
