THE HOUSE OF HISTORY
History Hus is a small museum located in Omø City, where we tell the history of Omø in the past and present.
The house is visited by just over 1,000 guests a year.
Every year, guests number 300, 500 and 1,000 who visit the house are celebrated.
Historiens Hus contributes to more people visiting Omø and to the interest in Omø's cultural history being preserved and strengthened both among the island's permanent residents, part-time islanders and the visiting tourists from home and abroad.
ABOUT THE HOUSE OF HISTORY
The Historiens Hus association owns the house at Husmandsstræde 13. The association inherited the house from organist Edith Nielsen, who was organist in Omø Church for no less than 68 years.
The house in Husmandsstræde is run - like much else on Omø - by volunteers
Historiens Hus is worth a trip if you want to experience and understand life on a small island in the middle of the Great Belt.
Read more about the creation of Historiens Hus and about Edithere.
EXHIBITION
The house in Husmandsstræde has 4 exhibition rooms, kitchen, toilet and 1st floor with archives.
The exhibitions in the house include a small "Children's Museum" with a school desk, slate boards, pens and inkwells and toys from the old days.
There are also old, homemade toys.
In the exhibition, you can gain knowledge about life in and around
Omø Lighthouse and the harbor town of Kirkehavn.
The story of Omø City, one of the best-preserved Danish villages, and its "emigrant farms" is told on the wall of the House of History.
In the archive on the 1st floor, we have pictures, protocols and various archives which are publicly available and
can be studied by those interested.
