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.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
