literally nothing interesting, it's definitely not worth paying 30 kroner for it. maximum 10 minutes of sightseeing

When we visited the museum, we had an unpleasant surprise. There was no light! Due to the presence of only an automatic ticket counter (connected to electricity), I witnessed someone buying tickets for 90 DKK thinking that this would turn on the light. Well no.

Fascinating museum. Quite normal at the beginning but when you enter the tour through one family history it turns out to be perfect. Amazing place

It's a small museum but it provides plenty of information about early Århus. The cost is low but you learn a lot. I don't think it would be interesting to very small children as there is much to read and little interactive parts.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
