About Wellings Village Museum
Wellings Village Museum is a piece of culture is unique, it is Denmark's
most unusual museum where you can explore an entire village from around
1900.
Soren Welling, who single-handedly built the museum, has been a
collector all his life, and under construction of the museum only used
recycled material he has collected. Construction began in 1973 and
continued until Welling's death in 1996.
Soren Welling has not made use of an architect, nor applied for planning
permission. His filo-sofi was "It is easier to get forgiveness than
permission" This situation is however since been or-it.
The village is built like small houses, and found school room, grocery,
hairdresser, post office, servant room, bedroom, living rooms from the
Victorian and much more. Very special is the church that in recent times
has been used in connection with marriages.
In total there are 36 rooms, each with its own history, even an inn
where one can enjoy its with-delivered meals.
There is a large collection of old farm machinery, tools used by
shoemakers, fi researchers, roofers, beekeepers, yes, virtually
everything that has been of crafts anno 1900 are represented.
Soren Welling started his life's work to collect stones, flint axes and
the like. Today is a big beautiful Neolithic collection, along with
clothing, toys, books etc. makes it an experience to walk through the
rooms where you almost feel the client before, and can easily imagine
all the chores he had once in.
The experience of walking through the museum, feel how our grandparents
and the ol-deform the elderly's daily life was compounded by the fact
that here you have to touch things. Do you want to iron over the bright
cloth on the table, touching a painting, a little cradle with doll in
duk-kevognen something, then do it. There are no signs that says "The
exhibited ef-without holes is not affected"
The building clearly shows that Welling has not consulted with an
architect, but that is exactly what makes it so exciting, and definitely
worth a visit .. If you go through the many small rooms can not help but
think that every stone and every stone, yes, everything, simply
everything is collected and entered by one man - Soren Welling. |
