The Museum relates the history of the Dutch immigrants who came to the island of Amager in the 16th century, and who cultivated fresh vegetables for the inhabitants of Copenhagen. It is a tale of strong traditions that subsequent generations have cherished and upheld, yet it is also a tale of change and development. With its fascinating local cultural history, Amager has an identity of its very own.
The museum consists of two, four-aisled farms which exhibits the islands special cultual heritage. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the café or take a stroll through our historic garden. Experience authentic interior decor, romantic paintings of the daily lives of the Amager people, as well as the museums large collection of old Amager costumes.
