Free and unfree
This year's special exhibition at the Reventlow Museum focuses on ideals, inequality and reality in Enlightenment Denmark
The exhibition conveys the story through original interiors in the Reventlow family's living rooms, personal stories and insights into the concrete meaning of the reforms – from the noble life at the top to daily life among peasants and people who lived in slavery.
The Reventlow Museum Pederstrup invites everyone interested to experience a time when ideas about freedom and human dignity began to sprout – and where reality was far more complex than it is often portrayed.

When Hans Jonathan stole himself
Lecture at the Reventlow Museum on June 3rd
How are a Danish count, West Indian sugar production, Rococo palaces, an escaped slave and sinister prison cells connected? That is the question that Museum Lolland-Falster focuses on when Louise Sebro, museum curator and researcher, invites the audience on a journey through the dramatic and complex history of slavery.

Ghosts and ghosts
Theme tour in Museum Obscurum d. May 22
What really happens when we die? Do we turn to dust, do we go somewhere else, or does our soul remain in this world? There are many theories, hopes, and guesses – but what do you think?
When darkness falls and silence descends, the imagination is awakened. The creaking of floorboards, shadows in corners and a cold breeze for no apparent reason – it is often in moments like these that people report experiencing something inexplicable. Something that, for lack of a better word, is called 'ghosting'.

Crafts and the history of the cake
On Sunday, May 18th, we will be holding a craftsman's day and historical cake café at the open-air museum in Maribo.
When the first green shoots of spring emerge, the hustle and bustle follows – it has been that way for generations. That's why we invite you to an inspiring day of craftsmanship, where experts in the preservation of old houses share their knowledge.
This Sunday you can also take a seat in the beautiful dance hall of the Forest Pavilion, where a sumptuous cake table will be set. Here we invite you on a tasteful journey through the cultural history of cake – from medieval fat cakes to 1900th century whipped cream cakes.
